Operations Management Recruitment in Yeovil

Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Yeovil.

South West

Operations leaders for Yeovil

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Across the South West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside estates. We search for leaders who already know that market.

A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.

The strongest operations candidates across the South West are usually already leading operations for businesses such as port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Why an operations specialist

Leaders judged on results

The P&L first

Discreet searches

What operations leaders earn in Yeovil

How it works

How a leadership search runs

Market mapping

We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.

Confidential approach

Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.

Offer and onboarding

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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

Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
  • Who the role reports to
