Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Maidenhead.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
The strongest operations candidates across the South East are usually already leading operations for businesses such as Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
