Hello, I’m Mark Manley, Production Manager and member of the Senior Leadership Team at Flexeserve, industry-leaders in heated displays and experts in hot-holding food-to-go. As Production Manager, I’m responsible for our manufacturing, managing a 30-strong production team, and overseeing the entire process from receiving components, to product completion and despatch. In addition, I also manage the teams within both Quality Control and Health & Safety, to ensure we uphold the very highest standards.Co-ordinating the various elements is key to achieving high production efficiencies for our landmark products – Flexeserve Zone, Flexeserve Zone Rear Feed and Flexeserve Hub. Made in the UK, our food-to-go hot-holding units can be found right across the globe.To meet exponential growth in demand, I have helped implement LEAN manufacturing principles to improve efficiency and help with our expanding product range.I ensure we have the right facilities and resources, across our equipment, premises and – as an employee-owned company – our Partner amenities. This has also involved refurbishment of our production facilities, with installation of new loading bays to accommodate rising export sales.Ensuring that every unit is delivered in pristine condition is a top priority. To achieve this, and reduce our carbon footprint, we’ve developed innovative packaging solutions, specific to each of our products and their destination.High profile rollouts require thorough planning and I take great pride in our collective ability to set and meet ambitious but achievable deadlines to meet our customers’ needs. Finally, I’m passionate about creating a positive, productive working culture and ‘can do’ team spirit, and work to maintain this within our team, optimising our output of a quality-first product – on time.If you’d like to discover more about Flexeserve products, or to discuss your current foodservice operation, please call 01455 638300 or email info@flexeserve.com.
