Our client supplies preservative and additive free fresh and pasteurised processed potatoes to the major food processing organisations across the UK.

After a review of their management structure, they now have a vacancy for a General Manager who will be responsible for ensuring long-term, sustainable growth of the business. This will initially involve day-to-day management of the site and ensuring all core functions are operating effectively together. Over time, it is envisaged that the General Manager will assume more responsibility for the commercial side of the business.

Reporting to the Group Processing Director, the successful candidate will ideally – although not necessarily – be from a food manufacturing background and have a thorough understanding of operational, financial, technical and commercial issues. We are also happy to take applications from people with a technical background but who wish to take their career in a more commercial or generalist direction. Additionally, whilst experience of managing an autonomous business unit would be advantageous we are equally keen to attract candidates who have the drive and passion to develop a business as well as themselves.

A salary range of 40,000 - 70,000 for this post reflects our client’s willingness to consider various backgrounds and experience levels. In addition to this they offer a range of benefits including a company vehicle, bonus scheme, pension scheme and life assurance.

networx is not a typical agency. We handle applications on behalf of our clients. After applying for this role you will be sent an email that it is essential you read in order to complete your application. Unlike a traditional agency we do not hold a database of candidates or put candidates forward for any other vacancies than those to which they have applied.
