Benchmarx is one of the UK's leading trade kitchen brands, part of Travis Perkins, and our Cabinet Production facility at Brackmills, Northampton, is where it all comes together. Every kitchen we deliver starts here, on the production floor we're looking for you to lead.
We're hiring a General Manager to take full operational ownership of our cabinet manufacturing site. This is a senior leadership role with real scope: a management team of six, an extended workforce of 70, around £8m of production and stock under your control, and a direct line to Rosie Wise, Benchmarx Managing Director. If you've built your career in large-scale manufacturing or distribution and you're ready to put your stamp on a site, this is one to look at.
What you'll own
What we're looking for
Nice to have
IOSH Managing Safely, CMI Level 5–7 (or similar leadership qualification), or Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and above.
Why Benchmarx, why now
You'll be leading the engine room of a growing trade kitchen business, with the backing of one of the UK's largest building materials groups behind you. The remit is broad, the autonomy is real, and the decisions you make will be felt across every Benchmarx kitchen that leaves this site.
If you're a senior operations leader looking for a role with genuine scope and accountability, we'd like to talk.
Apply today.
