Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Pontefract.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Pontefract draws on Yorkshire's deep distribution and port-logistics labour market, strung along the M62 and M1. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Proven general managers at sites such as the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster are usually approached directly.

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Pontefract run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
