Operations management recruitment for Salisbury operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations vacancies across the South West come from grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Proven general managers at sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester are usually approached directly.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Salisbury run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
