Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Uxbridge.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Uxbridge sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Proven general managers at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots are usually approached directly.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Uxbridge run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
