Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Marylebone.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
The strongest operations candidates across London & the South East are usually already leading operations for businesses such as e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Marylebone run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
