A highly professional and progressive farming business is restructuring and strengthening its operational leadership team and is now looking to appoint a new Potato Manager to take ownership of a significant potato enterprise within the wider farming operation.

This is a fast-moving commercial farming business where communication, operational coordination and practical decision-making matter daily.
