We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Rochester and the South East.
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 Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Across the South East, operations and general managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
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 Rochester run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the South East moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. 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 arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
