Operations near Penrith serve food producers, nuclear and marine employers and hauliers running long Anglo-Scottish legs. Across Cumbria, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Barrow-in-Furness shipyard and marine supply estates.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Penrith, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
With the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington serving the region, operations leaders across Cumbria often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
