  • Build strong working relationships with customers, suppliers and subcontractors.
  • Monitor operational costs and expenditure, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency while maintaining quality and service.
  • Support production planning and resource allocation across both businesses.
  • Monitor business performance and provide regular updates to the business owners.
  • Ensure compliance with Health & Safety, quality and environmental standards.
  • Encourage collaboration and the sharing of knowledge, skills and resources between both sister companies.
