From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Wimbledon with results they can explain.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
As part of Greater London, Wimbledon draws on one of the country's deepest — and most fought-over — pools of logistics and supply chain talent. Across London & the South East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across London & the South East follows urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wimbledon run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
