The business is now looking for a Production Operations Manager to lead the overnight operation, taking responsibility for a large, multicultural team and ensuring food is delivered to the highest possible standards. This role has become a real priority. The business has struggled to find the right person and is now looking for someone who can step into a visible, hands-on leadership role and make an immediate impact. This is not a desk-based operations role. This is a role for someone who likes being on the floor, managing people, solving problems, improving standards, and making sure things happen properly. What You’ll Get Up To • Lead the overnight operation during peak production hours, • Manage a team of around 40 people across bakers, pastry chefs, team leaders, and support staff, • Drive quality, consistency, and food safety standards across the site, • Ensure HACCP, health & safety, and compliance standards are always maintained, • Recruit, train, coach, and develop team members across the CPU, • Build strong relationships with production, maintenance, supply chain, and retail teams, • Monitor labour, productivity, waste, and production output to improve performance, • Deal with maintenance issues quickly and proactively before they become bigger problems, • Support rota planning and workforce management across a seven-day operation, • Help create a positive, inclusive culture across a highly diverse workforce This is a role for someone who enjoys being present, visible, and fully immersed in the operation.

The business is open to people coming from food manufacturing, hospitality, FMCG, or wider production environments. The Bottom Line: This is a high-impact operational leadership role inside a busy, complex, overnight food production environment. The business needs someone who can lead from the front, build credibility quickly, and bring structure, consistency, and energy to the team. If you enjoy leading people, improving operations, and being part of a fast-paced food environment where no two nights are the same — this is a seriously good opportunity. Lead it. Improve it. Own it.
