Operations leaders for Todmorden

Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.

Operations employers across Yorkshire include retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.

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

With the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham serving the region, operations leaders across Yorkshire often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.

Why an operations specialist

Leaders judged on results

People leadership

Client management

For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

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

How it works

How a leadership search runs

Interviews and site visits

Offer and onboarding

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.

Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
