Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Spalding.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Spalding draws on the East Midlands' deep warehousing and distribution labour market, centred on the M1 and A14. Across the East Midlands, operations leaders are needed at sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
The strongest operations candidates across the East Midlands are usually already leading operations for businesses such as big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
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 Spalding 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.
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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
