Thompson & Morgan is known as the expert in flower & vegetable seed market, but over the last few years we’ve grown to also include plants, bulbs, fruit and garden furniture - in fact everything you could want to create a stunning garden for your home. We generate over 2 million orders per year marketing our products via our website, catalogues, magazines, newspapers, Amazon, EBay and home shopping TV channels. We also have a presence in over 800 Garden Centre’s selling several million seed packets across the UK and Europe. With seed ranges sold in English, French and German packets to fulfil thousands of orders every season, our seed production and operations teams are kept busy with a wide range of duties. Our number one focus is offering fantastic service and high quality products to all our customers.

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Operations Manager to head up our production and despatch functions across 2 of our Ipswich-based sites. Responsible for making sure our customers receive their orders on time and in accordance to our quality standards, you’ll report directly into the Group Operations Director. You will be responsible for production and operational staff who work across different shifts, with a heavy seasonal workforce in place during our peak periods. You will have direct control and responsibility for resource allocation, budget control, workforce productivity, warehouse management and production planning. You will also be expected to comply with the Company HR, and Health & Safety policies.

This is a hands on role so will not suit a "desk based" manager and at times you will be the most senior person on site so you must be confident, driven and reliable. The right candidate will join the Senior Management team, contributing to the success and leadership of the business through effective team work and decision making. This is a pivotal role for the organisation and as such, we’re looking for the perfect fit of logical thinking, warehouse management experience, people leadership and a get-the-job-done attitude. An understanding of continuous improvement and the ability to challenge the norm are also advantageous attributes.

Candidates from any fast paced manufacturing, distribution or logistics environment will be considered.
