South East

Hiring operations leaders for good in Worthing

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Worthing sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. Across the South East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

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.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Offer and onboarding

We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.

Your brief

The brief that works

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.

Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Your interview process, including presentations
