Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Peterlee.
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 A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Peterlee, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, operations leaders across the North East often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.

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 help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
