The general managers and operations directors who turn Stroud sites around and keep them improving.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations employers across the South West include grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Operations leadership roles across the South West are spread across sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
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 Stroud 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 map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
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.
