The general managers and operations directors who turn Oakham sites around and keep them improving.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Operations vacancies across the East Midlands come from big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
Operations leadership roles across the East Midlands are spread across sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
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 Oakham 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
