The general managers and operations directors who turn Stowmarket sites around and keep them improving.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Operations across the East of England are connected by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
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.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stowmarket run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the East of England 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.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
