Job description

Are you an ambitious commercial leader with a passion for growing businesses and driving strategic change? Are you ready to take full ownership of a business with significant growth potential?

We are partnering with a market-leading global packaging and labelling organisation to appoint a General Manager to lead and develop its equipment division.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take the lead of an established business with ambitious growth plans and the potential to significantly expand its market presence.

You will benefit from the backing, resources and customer reach of a leading global organisation, whilst having the autonomy to shape the division's strategic direction, drive commercial growth and expand its operational capabilities.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to senior leadership, you will take full P&L responsibility for the division, leading a team of employees across sales, engineering, project management, spare parts and technical service.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing and executing a strategy to significantly grow revenue and profitability.


• Leveraging existing customer relationships and cross-selling opportunities to drive equipment sales.


• Leading, developing and motivating a multidisciplinary team.


• Expanding manufacturing capabilities, including bringing machining operations in-house.


• Establishing strategic partnerships with external equipment manufacturers and suppliers.


• Overseeing engineering, project management and aftermarket service functions.


• Driving operational improvements and overseeing the implementation of a new ERP system.


• Building a strong business culture focused on collaboration, innovation and sustainable growth.

You will ideally demonstrate:

• Proven experience leading and growing an equipment or machinery business.


• Full P&L responsibility, including revenue, gross margin and profitability.


• Strong technical understanding of packaging machinery, engineering or manufacturing.


• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams across sales, engineering and service.


• A track record of developing strategic customer and supplier partnerships.


• An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to identify and capitalise on new opportunities.


• Strong commercial acumen and the ability to translate strategy into measurable results.

Experience within labelling equipment would be advantageous but is not essential. Broader packaging machinery experience will also be considered.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary package


• Full P&L ownership and significant leadership responsibility.


• The opportunity to lead an established business with ambitious growth plans.


• Access to an extensive global customer network and wider organisational resources.


• The opportunity to influence manufacturing capabilities and shape the future direction of the division.


• Direct exposure to senior leadership.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious General Manager looking to take ownership of a business and drive its next phase of growth.

Are you ready to take the next step in your leadership career and make a genuine impact on the growth of an established packaging equipment business?
