Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Witham.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Across the East of England, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the A14 and A11 corridors, the Port of Felixstowe and Stansted airfreight. We search for leaders who already know that market.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
The strongest operations candidates across the East of England are usually already leading operations for businesses such as port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
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 Witham run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
