Depot General Manager

Depot General ManagerLogistics / Contract Logistics

Loom Talent is supporting a leading logistics business with the appointment of a Depot General Manager for a significant multi-customer operation in Wiltshire.

This is an opportunity for an experienced logistics leader to take responsibility for a complex, multi-customer site, managing a sizeable operation and a broad range of customer requirements.

The role will suit someone who enjoys working in an environment where no two customers are the same and who can balance operational performance, commercial requirements, customer relationships and compliance.

THE ROLE You will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day performance of the site, leading through a team of Operations Managers and supporting the continued development of the operation.

Key areas of responsibility will include:

• Leading a sizeable warehouse operation and management team.


• Managing multiple customer contracts and differing service requirements.


• Building strong, long-term customer relationships.


• Driving performance across service, productivity, cost, quality and safety.


• Taking ownership of site budgets and commercial performance.


• Ensuring high standards of legal, regulatory and operational compliance.


• Working closely with transport and wider operational teams.


• Developing your management team and creating a strong performance culture.


• Identifying opportunities to improve the operation and support future growth.

THE CANDIDATE We are particularly interested in speaking with experienced Site Managers, General Managers or senior Operations Managers who have worked within:

• 3PL / contract logistics


• Multi-customer warehouse environments


• Complex or high-volume operations


• Customer-facing contract logistics


• Regulated or compliance-led environments

You will need to be comfortable managing multiple customers with different requirements, rather than having experience solely within a dedicated single-client operation.

Strong commercial awareness, contract management experience and the ability to build credible customer relationships will be important.

We are looking for someone who is hands-on, commercially aware and entrepreneurial, with the confidence to make decisions and take ownership of their operation.

WHY THIS ROLE? This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of a significant operation within a business that gives its Managers the freedom to run their sites and make decisions.

There is also a strong pipeline of new business, providing the opportunity to influence the future shape and performance of the operation.
