Moving into a Manufacturing HR role

Hello,

I've got the opportunity to work as an HR Advisor in a high volume manufacturing company (retail products) with approx 3000 employees. 

I'd welcome any comments or observations about an HR role in this environment as I haven't worked in manufacturing before. My backgroud has been in telecoms / IT as well as Public sector (Local Govt and |NHS) - both in HR Advisor and Business Partner roles. 

Thanks in advance for your comments. 

Kind regards, 

Mark.

    One of my ex-HR Managers once said to me if you can work in HR in manufacturing you can work in any environment! Having spent nearly 10 years working in automotive manufacturing I think she was right. I totally concur with the comments on here, its challenging, fast-paced with great exposure to all aspects of HR, predominantly on the ER side but such a great learning opportunity.

    Wishing you all the very best in your new role :)
