Wallingford isn’t just the home of Rowse Honey, it’s a flagship site with a proud local reputation, a highly engaged workforce, and big plans for the future. As we shape the next chapter of growth, investment and operational excellence, we’re looking for a Factory General Manager who can lead the site with confidence, clarity and ambition.
This is a role with real breadth. As Site Leader, you’ll be responsible for every aspect of performance across Safety, Quality, Cost, Service and People. You’ll guide a multi‑disciplined team spanning Production, Engineering, Technical, HSE and Warehouse, working closely with central functions to keep the site moving forward. Ultimately, you’ll set the tone, shaping the culture, developing the leadership team and ensuring Wallingford continues to be a great place to work.
You’ll take ownership of budgets, cost control and day‑to‑day financial stewardship, working hard to improve efficiencies and reduce losses while maintaining excellent relationships with our UK retail customers. Quality and service standards here are non‑negotiable: the Rowse brand is trusted by millions, and our retailer partners rely on us for exceptional consistency. Your leadership will ensure we continue to meet those expectations.
At its heart, this role is about people. Wallingford has a talented and committed workforce, and your leadership will shape their experience. You’ll support communication and engagement across the site, build strong succession plans, and create a culture where continuous improvement feels natural. You’ll also represent the site within the local community, helping reinforce our reputation as an ethical, progressive employer.
