The general managers and operations directors who turn Matlock sites around and keep them improving.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across the East Midlands include national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. 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.
Sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Matlock 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.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
