West Midlands

Ludlow operations management recruitment

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Operations vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

Operations leadership roles across the West Midlands are spread across sites such as the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
