Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Wolverhampton.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
With the M54, M6 and A449, Birmingham Airport and Wolverhampton's rail connections serving the region, operations leaders across the West Midlands often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
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.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wolverhampton run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the West Midlands moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
