From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Thornaby with results they can explain.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Across the Tees Valley, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Newton Aycliffe and Darlington manufacturing estates. We search for leaders who already know that market.

From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Thornaby 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.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
