Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Uttoxeter.

East Midlands

Operations leaders for Uttoxeter

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Operations across the East Midlands are connected by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

The strongest operations candidates across the East Midlands are usually already leading operations for businesses such as national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.

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.

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
