Hiring a general manager in Wigan? 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.
Across the North West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal. We search for leaders who already know that market.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, operations leaders across the North West often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wigan run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
We compare leadership offers with current roles of similar size and scope rather than old survey data. 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 ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
