Today, all machines are designed and manufactured in the company's own UK factory, supplying equipment to both the agricultural and recycling sectors. Engineered for endurance in demanding applications, where reliability and durability are paramount. Every machine is built to deliver consistent performance, long service life, and dependable operation in challenging environments. The business is supported by a global dealer and distributor network operating across 25 countries and five continents, providing local expertise and customer support worldwide. As part of its continued growth strategy, new distribution partners and sales channels are welcomed. Role The role is responsible for making autonomous operational decisions to meet the company's ambitious production growth targets, ensuring daily and weekly operational objectives are consistently achieved to an exceptional standard.
