Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Slough.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
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.
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.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Slough run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
