We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Runcorn and the North West.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Operations across the North West are connected by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Runcorn, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Operations leadership roles across the North West are spread across sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Runcorn run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the North West 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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
