Operations leaders for Wrexham

Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.

Wrexham sits in North Wales, where the A55 expressway and the port of Holyhead carry the freight — not the M4 and the South Wales docks. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.

Across North Wales, operations and general managers are hired by manufacturing supply chains, port and ferry logistics, agri-food distribution and cross-border hauliers.

Matched to the model

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.

Pay that reflects the role

We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
