The general managers and operations directors who turn Woking sites around and keep them improving.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Across the South East, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick. We search for leaders who already know that market.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Woking, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Across the South East, operations and general managers are hired by grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Woking run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
For Woking operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
