Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Shipley.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations employers across Yorkshire include retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Proven general managers at sites such as the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster are usually approached directly.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Indicative permanent salaries in Shipley run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in Yorkshire & the Humber 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
For Shipley operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
