Devon & Cornwall

Permanent operations directors for Teignmouth

Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.

Sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.

Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.

The strongest operations candidates across Devon & Cornwall are usually already leading operations for businesses such as chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.

What sets the desk apart

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

The P&L first

We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.

Beyond the start date

We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.

What the market pays

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Leadership screen

P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.

Offer and onboarding

We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Who the role reports to
