Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Northwich.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Northwich sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Leadership demand across the North West follows port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Northwich 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 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.
For Northwich operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
