Job description

We're working exclusively with a highly successful, family-owned business in the garden products sector. They are at a pivotal growth stage and are looking for a commercially-driven, operationally-savvy General Manager to help lead their next chapter.

This is a business that has grown steadily and profitably by staying true to its values, loyalty, integrity, and a hands-on approach. The leadership team and staff have worked together for nearly 20 years, creating a strong, down-to-earth culture. They're now looking for a leader who can step into that environment, respect it, and help them double the business over the next 5 years.

For the right person, this role offers more than just a senior leadership position, it offers a real opportunity to earn a stake in the business.

What Makes This Role Unique?

• A path to having a meaningful stake in the business.
• Be the driving force behind a 5-year plan to double revenue.
• No red tape, no corporate layers; just real influence and visible leadership.
• This isn't a role for someone who wants to lead from the sidelines.
• You won't find this role advertised elsewhere.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in a senior operational/commercial leadership role with full P&L responsibility.
• Ideally, a background in garden supplies or product sectors with strong seasonality complexity.
• Strong commercial acumen with a track record of scaling or transforming a business.
• A practical, sleeves-rolled-up leader who's happy to get involved across the business.
• A people-person who understands how to earn trust within a long-standing, tight-knit team.
• Based within a commutable distance of Doncaster or willing to spend significant time on-site.

What's Next?

If you're looking for a chance to own and shape a business's growth, not just execute someone else's strategy, this is an opportunity you shouldn't overlook. It's a rare blend of autonomy, impact, and future ownership within a values-driven, profitable company.
