​We are recruiting for a Production Manager to join our Dorset based client who is a high-quality frying facility.

The business strategy is focused on innovation and reinventing the Scotch egg category.  This has resulted in the ability to maintain a runny centre in a warm-serve, cooked egg product, which you will now find available in numerous retailers, as well as delighting restaurant and pub patrons up and down the country. If this doesn't grab your attention, nothing will!
