Hiring a general manager in Wednesbury? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Wednesbury draws on the West Midlands' busy warehousing and national-distribution labour market, strung along the M6 and M42. Across the West Midlands, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
The strongest operations candidates across the West Midlands are usually already leading operations for businesses such as automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
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 Wednesbury run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the West Midlands moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
