General Manager

A successful SME litho printer in Manchester is looking to appoint a General Manager. They are looking for a first-class candidate with an eagerness to succeed.

As General Manager, you will be responsible for advancing a culture of success that includes planning, then achieving, operational and financial results. With a strong customer-first focus, you will demonstrate an understanding of how to reach and service customers through our client’s products and services.

• Ensure that operations contribute to the overall strategy and development of the business
• Deliver an excellent service to customers, providing ultimate satisfaction to drive growth
