Permanent operations leadership recruitment across southern Scotland.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
The market around Selkirk is a corridor market: long-haul and ferry-linked work rather than dense urban distribution. Across southern Scotland, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Across southern Scotland, operations and general managers are hired by Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Selkirk run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
