We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Lydney and the South West.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Operations employers across the South West include food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Sites such as Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lydney run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
