Values

From an external perspective, what differentiates Place UK is its people. The business has nurtured a culture where colleagues are empowered to innovate, contribute ideas, and take genuine pride in producing goods of the highest quality. This is supported by an embedded, values-led and family-feel ethos that has provided the foundation for long-term growth and operational resilience.

The incoming Managing Director will step into an organisation with a strong and experienced senior leadership team already in place, aligned to deliver growth. This presents a significant opportunity: to harness and build upon this capability, fostering an environment of innovation, collaboration, development and continuous improvement. The mandate is to deliver ambitious growth objectives through evolutionary change, balancing innovation with heritage, while ensuring the business remains sustainable, agile, and guided by its core values.

Place UK’s values define how the business engages with colleagues, customers, and partners. These values underpin its reputation as a trusted and high-quality operator in the food industry and will be central to the new MD’s leadership journey.

For the right individual, this role represents the chance to combine commercial leadership with purpose-led stewardship. It is a rare opportunity to lead a business with a proud heritage, a compelling strategic vision, and an exciting future trajectory.
