Job description

My client is a well-established, profitable, and privately owned London high-end refurbishment specialist who, since their establishment over 40 years ago, have built an excellent reputation in their respective marketplace. They pride themselves on the diversity of their client base and project portfolio, with all their work comprising strong elements of challenging structural modifications, cut and carve, basement excavation, facade retention, refurbishment, and restorations in the heart of London across the residential, museum, gallery, listed building, heritage, private education, and private healthcare sectors.

Their typical project value is up to GBP20m in contract value. They are committed to delivering all projects to the highest standards and building long-term relationships, resulting in a large proportion of repeat business and recommendations. They have developed close relationships with their supply chain, offering prompt payment terms to support cash flow during challenging times.

The pandemic three years ago prompted reflection for the owners, leading them to decide on a strategic shift and business development. They have now delegated operational control to a talented team of directors to drive the business forward.

This contractor values opportunities for personal and professional growth, offering additional qualifications and bespoke progression paths with clear, measurable targets. This approach has helped maintain a family-like atmosphere and low staff turnover during their growth.
