Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Luton.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations employers across the East of England include container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Proven general managers at sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks are usually approached directly.

Indicative permanent salaries in Luton run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
