Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Seaford.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Operations employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover serving the region, operations leaders across the South East often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Seaford run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
