We’re recruiting for our long-standing client, Boughey Distribution Ltd.

Some jobs are about clocking in and out. This isn’t one of them. At Boughey, you’ll run a busy, high-energy Contract Packing operation, leading a team, keeping customers happy, and making sure every order leaves the building on time and in perfect condition.

If solving problems comes naturally to you, and if you love motivating a team to smash targets, and seeing the results of your decisions straight away—this is where you belong.

What’s in it for you?

This isn’t just a job – you get the tools, support, and perks to actually enjoy coming to work:

• Up to £60,000 per annum + bonus + benefits
• Monday – Friday
• 33 days holiday, including bank holidays (and yes, you can buy more)
• Career progression across three businesses – move, grow, explore
• Fully funded accredited training
• Discounts on loads of things you already spend money on
• On-site gym
• Subsidised canteen
• Health perks via Medicash, long service awards, attendance bonus, refer-a-friend bonus
• Full benefits package – pension, life assurance, cycle-to-work, EAP, free refreshments, parking.

This role is about ownership and leadership. You’ll take a busy contract packing department and make it buzz:

• Lead and motivate your team to hit daily targets while keeping morale high.
• Take responsibility for every order, ensuring it’s delivered on time, in full, and to the highest quality.
• Own the budget and drive performance – profitability matters.
• Shape the culture, systems, and behaviours so the department is ready for today and the future.
• Collaborate across functions to make processes smoother, smarter, faster.
• Drive continuous improvement – always thinking better, quicker, cleaner, safer.
• Recruit, train, and develop your people so they can perform at their best.
• Keep health, safety, quality, and compliance front and centre.

You’re not just a manager—you’re a doer, a motivator, and a problem-solver. You’ll bring:

• Proven experience managing a production or contract packing team (food sector a bonus)
• Strong knowledge of health & safety and quality management systems
• Excellent leadership and communication skills—you get people moving and motivated
• Budget management experience and a focus on operational efficiency
• Track record of continuous improvement and delivering results
• Advanced knowledge of Excel and SAP

Part of the NWF Group (1,400+ people, three businesses, tons of room to move around). Boughey store and transport food efficiently, safely, and sustainably. With 1.5 million sq ft of warehouse space, 160 trucks, and 365 trailers, they’re constantly investing in our people, systems, and facilities.

Join Boughey Distribution and you’ll be part of a 60-year legacy – but also a company that offers you every opportunity to make your own mark.
