Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Royal Tunbridge Wells.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Royal Tunbridge Wells sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
The strongest operations candidates across the South East are usually already leading operations for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Royal Tunbridge Wells run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
