Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Penzance.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations vacancies across Devon & Cornwall come from chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth serving the region, operations leaders across Devon & Cornwall often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
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.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Penzance run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the South West moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
