Operations management recruitment for Sandbach operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
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.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Leadership demand across the North West follows grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sandbach 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.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
