Are you a Production or Manufacturing leader from an FMCG background that wants to join a family-run business where you can make a significant impact and be a part of a relaxed, friendly team environment?
This long-running manufacturing business delivers feed solutions to clients across the agricultural sector, forming close relationships with farmers and combining their agricultural heritage with technical knowledge to deliver high-quality products.
In this role you will have overall responsibility for a production plant using mills to create a variety of animal feeds, leading day-to-day operations and ensuring quality, safety & delivery targets are met while motivating and upskilling production staff.
