The Company

A brilliant opportunity has arisen with a market leading food business that currently turn over in excess of £200M.

The Role

You will be constantly reviewing the range on ways to improve and develop. This is a really exciting role that has lots of progression on offer and you will also have the chance to manage a team moving forward.
