Hiring a general manager in Weymouth? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Across the South West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5. We search for leaders who already know that market.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
The strongest operations candidates across the South West are usually already leading operations for businesses such as port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
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.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Weymouth run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the South West 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.
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.
