The general managers and operations directors who turn Ware sites around and keep them improving.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across the East of England include container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Operations leadership roles across the East of England are spread across sites such as Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M).
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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 Ware 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
