Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Witney.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations vacancies across the South East come from grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover serving the region, operations leaders across the South East often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Witney run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
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.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
