General Manager

Are you an ambitious Production or Operations Leader ready to take the next step?

Perhaps you're already operating at General Manager level and are looking for a business where you can really make your mark?

Bowmay are recruiting for a General Manager to join an established garment manufacturing business in Lancashire with exciting plans for growth.

This isn't simply a role for someone to maintain the status quo. The business is looking for a commercially minded, hands-on leader who will challenge, improve and ultimately help shape the next stage of the company's journey.

What You Get

* A basic salary of £60-70k (neg)

* Annual bonus

* Company car or car allowance

* Mentoring from the MD to assist in your development

About You

* We're particularly interested in people with a textile manufacturing background, although you don't need to have worked specifically within garment manufacturing.

* You could be an ambitious Production Manager ready for a step up, or an experienced Operations Manager looking for a bigger challenge.

* Most importantly, you'll be a go-getter.

* You'll be commercially aware, naturally curious and someone who doesn't simply accept "that's how we've always done it."

* You'll be comfortable rolling your sleeves up, getting involved and making things happen.

About The Role

You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the production facility, working closely with the team to improve performance, solve problems and identify opportunities for growth.

We're looking for someone who will:

* Lead and develop the operations

* Drive efficiencies and continuous improvement

* Identify problems and find practical solutions

* Challenge existing processes respectfully and constructively

* Genuinely understand the commercial impact of operational decisions in a textile manufacturing business

* Have some experience producing or contributing to monthly P&L reporting

* Work collaboratively across production, people and commercial activity

* Develop the role as the business grows

We're looking for someone who:

* Is commercially astute

* Has textile manufacturing experience

* Can confidently challenge and influence

* Is comfortable working with financial information

* Is a natural problem solver

* Can flex upwards and take on more responsibility

* Wants to grow with the business — and grow the role around them

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious manufacturing professional who wants to move beyond simply managing an operation and help shape a growing business.
