If you’re a Factory Manager who prefers real responsibility over endless meetings and unclear ownership, this could be your next move.

A heads up:

This isn’t a gentle, low-pressure, “everything runs itself” operation.

It’s a fast-moving environment with short shelf-life products, high customer expectations and not much room for error. If you’ve worked in chilled manufacturing, you’ll understand the pace immediately.

What You’ll Really Be Doing

You’ll be running the factory. Fully.

From raw intake through to dispatch - process, people, performance and everything in between.

You’ll be leading a team of around 200, with clear accountability for productivity, safety, and standards across all shifts.

You’ll have the autonomy to contribute ideas, shape decisions, and improve how the site operates. This isn’t a “just keep it ticking” role. You’ll have influence and the authority to act on it.

What Success Looks Like Here

In your first year, you’ll be steering a site that’s already performing well - and helping it get better.

That could mean:

Improving throughput and removing bottlenecks.
Taking an ongoing culture shift and embedding it into everyday behaviour.
Tackling a key challenge such as reducing giveaway, cutting changeovers, or bringing consistency across all shifts.
There’s a solid foundation. You’ll be the person who builds on it.

Who This Will Suit

You’ve led large, fast-paced operations before - ideally with short shelf-life products.

You understand the difference between managing activity and improving performance.

Your leadership style is firm but fair, and people tend to do their best work under you.

If you’re ready for a role where your decisions genuinely move the needle - and where the senior team wants you to make that impact - then it’s worth a conversation.

Because factories don’t improve by accident.

They improve because someone takes ownership.
