Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Site and hospitality general managers anchor the band, operations managers and directors sit in the middle, and managing directors and chief operating officers above it (£100,000–£250,000+ with bonus and equity). Size of P&L, headcount and sector set the number more than location.
