Permanent operations leadership recruitment across the West Midlands.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
From national 3PLs to automotive supply chains, employers around Rugby compete for experienced permanent talent in the country's busiest distribution region. Across the West Midlands, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Rugby, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Across the West Midlands, operations and general managers are hired by automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.
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 Rugby run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
