CEO | Swineshead

90k + car & bonus

We are excited to announce that we are working exclusively with Speciality Produce Limited on a fantastic opportunity for an experienced CEO to join the team.

SPL is a grower owned cooperative which enables its Members to have access to funding under the Fruit and Vegetable Scheme. First formed in 1998 in Kent; fast forward ~25 years later, its membership has grown, and they now have major production hubs across the UK. Their members use leading-edge growing techniques to produce an array of fruit, herbs and salads for supermarkets and food service companies.

The business is looking to appoint a new CEO with a strong commercial background to help resource and manage the current RPA funding/grants for the Producer Organisation (PO). They need someone to help the company benefit from new opportunities and will be responsible for a team of people that are directly involved with SPL daily activities. The CEO will also be responsible for the day-to-day communication and dealings with the various PO member companies.

This is a fantastic role for someone who has a very strong administrative, leadership background but also a good understanding of the agricultural, horticultural, or fresh produce sectors. Knowledge of how Producer Organisations operate would be advantageous.

The role will be based in Swineshead and will offer a flexible working structure.
