Operations management recruitment for Stalybridge operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
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.
Stalybridge sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. Across the North West, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool.
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 North West are usually already leading operations for businesses such as grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stalybridge 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.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
