The general managers and operations directors who turn West Bromwich sites around and keep them improving.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations employers across the West Midlands include automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in West Bromwich run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
