The general managers and operations directors who turn Romsey sites around and keep them improving.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Logistics operations around Romsey serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Romsey, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Across the South East, operations and general managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Romsey 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
