Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Port Glasgow.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations across Scotland are connected by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
The strongest operations candidates across Scotland are usually already leading operations for businesses such as grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
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.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Port Glasgow 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
