Transport General Manager – Staffordshire
Lead a growing transport operation. Drive performance. Shape the future of logistics.
We’re looking for a commercially focused Transport General Manager to take full ownership of a busy, fast-moving transport and logistics operation in Staffordshire. This is a senior leadership role with real autonomy — ideal for someone who thrives on improving performance, developing teams, and delivering operational excellence across a multi-fleet environment.
You’ll be responsible for leading transport operations end-to-end, ensuring vehicles, people, and processes run efficiently, safely, and profitably while supporting continued business growth.
The Role:
- Take full operational responsibility for a large-scale transport and logistics operation
- Lead and develop transport, planning, and operational teams to deliver high performance
- Drive fleet utilisation, cost control, and service excellence across the operation
- Ensure full compliance with transport legislation, safety standards, and regulatory requirements
- Improve planning, routing, and operational efficiency to maximise profitability
- Build strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
- Identify and implement continuous improvement and growth opportunities
- Lead a culture of accountability, teamwork, and operational excellence
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience as a Transport General Manager, Head of Transport, or Senior Transport Operations Leader
- Strong background in general haulage
- Experience managing fleets, drivers, planners, and operational teams
- Excellent understanding of UK transport compliance and operational standards
- Commercially aware with a focus on performance and cost efficiency
- Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate and develop teams
- Hands-on, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
- CPC qualified
Why This Role Stands Out
- Senior leadership role with real autonomy and influence
- Established and growing transport operation
- Opportunity to shape strategy and drive operational improvements
- Strong leadership visibility and career progression potential
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Staffordshire-based leadership role with long-term stability
The Opportunity
This is a chance to take ownership of a well-established transport operation and make a genuine impact — leading people, improving performance, and driving the next phase of growth.
