Head of Operations

Join to apply for the Head of Operations role at Westmoore Recruitment
.

Are you a hands‑on operations leader ready to make a real impact? We’re looking for an experienced Head of Operations to drive production, supply chain, and site operations at a growing, international manufacturing business.

With decades of heritage and a strong global presence, Westmoore is a trusted manufacturer and distributor of innovative consumer maintenance products. Supplying leading retailers and trade distributors across more than 50 countries, the business is built on a reputation for quality, value, and reliability
. It’s a fast‑paced, supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to shape operations, deliver improvements, and make your mark.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you’ll take ownership of day‑to‑day operations while leading improvements in efficiency, quality, and output. This role balances strategic oversight with hands‑on involvement, ideal for someone who enjoys being on the factory floor as much as in the boardroom.

• Lead production, warehouse, and supply chain activities.
• Oversee daily manufacturing, ensuring products are delivered on time and to the highest standards.
• Drive continuous improvement across efficiency, quality, and compliance.
• Manage supplier relationships, stock control, and logistics.
• Coach and develop a multi‑skilled team, fostering a positive workplace culture.
• Support business growth through KPI development, cost control, and system improvements.

• Proven experience in operations or production management within SME manufacturing.
• A hands‑on leader who can roll up their sleeves to solve problems.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (bottle filling, chemicals, hand packing, or consumables experience is a plus).
• Supply chain and inventory management expertise.
• Excellent leadership, organisational, and problem‑solving skills.
• Knowledge of health & safety, quality, and compliance requirements.
• Experience with lean/continuous improvement methodologies (desirable).

• Competitive salary (DOE).
• A varied, hands‑on role with real responsibility and visibility.
• Opportunity to shape operations in a growing international SME.
• Supportive and friendly team culture with scope for personal growth.

If you’re ready to take ownership of operations and thrive in a role where your impact will be seen daily, we’d love to hear from you.
