 A superb opportunity to play your part in the next phase of growth of a thriving industry figurehead.
 The Harland Partnership and Consortium Professional Recruitment have been retained to identify an exceptional Operations Director on behalf of a highly respected engineering-led manufacturing business entering a significant phase of growth, investment and leadership evolution.
   
 With revenues approaching £80m, approximately 500 employees and a multi-site operational footprint, the business has established a market-leading position within its specialist sector through engineering excellence, operational agility and an unwavering focus on customer delivery.
 The organisation is now entering its next chapter.

 The Opportunity
 This Operations Director appointment combines strategic influence with hands-on operational leadership.

 The successful Operations Director will assume responsibility across engineering, manufacturing, planning and purchasing functions within a highly customised and technically demanding manufacturing environment.

 The Business
 The organisation combines many of the characteristics of an entrepreneurial manufacturing business whilst benefiting from the support, investment capability and stability associated with international ownership.
   
 The environment is engineering-led, customer-focused and highly collaborative.
   
 Success has been built on expertise, flexibility and the ability to respond effectively to complex customer requirements.
 The leadership team is ambitious, grounded and committed to ensuring the business remains capable of supporting future growth whilst preserving the culture and values that have contributed to its success.
