Recruiting operations managers in Lymington

Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.

Across the South East, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow. We search for leaders who already know that market.

Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.

Across the South East, operations and general managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.

Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
  • Who the role reports to
