Join a thriving family-owned horticultural business where your leadership skills will help shape the future of plant production operations.
We're delighted to be partnering with a highly successful, family-owned horticultural business to recruit a Nursery Production Manager.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated people leader with a background in production, manufacturing, logistics, operations, or warehouse management to join a thriving organisation with a genuine passion for quality and continuous improvement.
You don't need to be a horticultural expert to succeed in this role. What matters most is your ability to lead teams, organise production efficiently, manage resources effectively, and drive high standards in a fast-paced environment.
If you're a strong communicator who enjoys problem-solving, motivating people, and keeping operations running smoothly, this could be the ideal next step in your career.
Why Join?
- Monday to Friday working pattern
- Join a successful and growing family-owned business
- Lead a key production function with real responsibility
- Work across multiple sites with a varied and engaging workload
- Supportive leadership team and genuine career development opportunities
- Be part of a business with a strong reputation for quality and innovation
- Excellent employee benefits package
The Opportunity
Our client grows over one million plants each year and has invested significantly in modern production facilities, including mechanised production lines and specialist growing infrastructure.
As Nursery Production Manager, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring production runs efficiently, resources are effectively managed, and plants are delivered to the highest standards.
Working closely with the Nursery Operations Manager, you'll turn seasonal production plans into day-to-day action, coordinating people, machinery, stock, and logistics to ensure targets are achieved safely and efficiently.
This is a highly visible role with responsibility for production planning, team leadership, stock management, logistics, and continuous improvement across multiple nursery sites.

- Strong leadership and people management experience
- Excellent planning and organisational skills
- Experience managing production processes or operational workflows
- Confidence leading and motivating teams
- Strong communication and problem-solving abilities
- Good IT skills and administrative capability
- A proactive and adaptable approach to work
Experience in horticulture would be very beneficial but is not essential. Full training on the growing operation can be provided for candidates with the right operational management experience.

- Generous staff discount scheme with increasing discounts based on length of service
