London & the South East

Westminster operations management recruitment

Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.

As part of Greater London, Westminster draws on one of the country's deepest — and most fought-over — pools of logistics and supply chain talent. 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 London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt are usually approached directly.

A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.

We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
