Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Peterborough.
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 Cambridgeshire come from container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Proven general managers at sites such as the A1(M) corridor parks, Fengate and the East of England distribution sites are usually approached directly.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Peterborough run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
We compare leadership offers with current roles of similar size and scope rather than old survey data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
