The general managers and operations directors who turn Thornbury sites around and keep them improving.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Logistics around Thornbury is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Across the South West, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across the South West follows grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
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 Thornbury run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
For Thornbury operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
