Handley James have been retained by a well-established manufacturer of bespoke products based in Stoke On Trent. As a result of expansion, growth and continued development they have retained our services to source a Factory Manager to join the business and work collaboratively to support the expansion of the business from a manufacturing and operations perspective.

- Providing overall leadership across Production, Planning, Maintenance and HSE
- Establishing, monitoring, and improving core KPIs
- Improving the overall efficiencies of the business, with a focus on OTIF and OEE
- In developing and mentoring core team members
Currently a Factory Manager or Manufacturing Manager within a fast-paced manufacturer, you will be experienced in improving an organisation but in a measured and consistent way.

You will be open, honest and transparent in terms of your core behaviours and will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
