From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Oldham with results they can explain.
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.
Sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Across the North West, operations and general managers are hired by retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.

Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oldham run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
