Well you could be one step closer to making that dream come true. With retirement on the horizon, the current Managing Director is looking for someone to eventually take full control of the company.

This rarely available opportunity for an ambitious individual to play a key part in setting the strategy for growth, taking ownership of specific key initiatives to achieve targeted outcomes. You will be numerate and commercially astute, with the gravitas and intellect to add real value to the senior management. We are looking for someone who exhibits a confident ability to manage change, and show a hunger to play a part in the company’s long‑term success through the delivery of improvements in working practices.
