Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Widnes.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Widnes, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
The strongest operations candidates across the North West are usually already leading operations for businesses such as grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.

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.

An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
