We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Romford and London & the South East.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations employers across London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Operations leadership roles across London & the South East are spread across sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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 Romford 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.
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.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
