From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Prestwich with results they can explain.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations across the North West are connected by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Prestwich, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Operations leadership roles across the North West are spread across sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
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 Prestwich run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
