Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Truro.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Truro sits in the far South West, beyond the end of the M5 at Exeter, where the A30 and A38 carry the freight and distances change how operations are run. Across Devon & Cornwall, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth serving the region, operations leaders across Devon & Cornwall often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Truro 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.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
