Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Telford.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Operations employers across the West Midlands include automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Telford, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Proven general managers at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham are usually approached directly.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Telford run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
We compare leadership offers with current roles of similar size and scope rather than old survey data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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 short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
