Having recently acquired the Talloes brand, we are bringing production in-house and launching our own artisan crisp manufacturing facility on the Kent and Surrey border. This is an exciting opportunity to join a business at the beginning of its growth journey and play a key role in shaping its future.
We are looking for a hands-on Production Manager who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys leading people, solving problems, and building efficient production operations.

You will have the opportunity to influence processes, develop teams, improve performance, and help create the foundations of a scalable food manufacturing business.
As Production Manager, you will take ownership of the day-to-day manufacturing operation, overseeing the production process from cooking and seasoning through to packing and dispatch. You will be responsible for ensuring production targets are achieved while maintaining the highest standards of quality, food safety, efficiency, and team performance. Working closely with the founders, you will help transform an early-stage manufacturing facility into a well-structured, high-performing operation.
Key Responsibilities- Lead the daily running of the manufacturing facility.
- Oversee production activities including frying, seasoning, packing and finished goods.
- Deliver production plans safely, efficiently and on schedule.
- Monitor product quality and consistency.
- Drive operational efficiency and minimise downtime.
- Develop effective production routines and standard operating procedures.
- Manage raw material and packaging usage to reduce waste and improve yield.
- Lead, motivate and develop the production team.
- Create a positive, accountable and high-performing culture.
- Train employees on production standards, hygiene requirements and safe working practices.
- Support workforce planning and labour management.
- Set clear expectations around quality, productivity and performance.
