We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Sidmouth and the South West.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Sidmouth draws on a Devon and Cornwall labour market where good permanent logistics people are hard to find and harder to replace. Across Devon & Cornwall, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Sidmouth, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Leadership demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sidmouth 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.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
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.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
