From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Yate with results they can explain.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Operations employers across the South West include food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Yate, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Operations leadership roles across the South West are spread across sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Yate 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
