This global leader has established itself through an innovative and flexible approach, driving consistent growth and expansion into key markets across the UK, Europe, Australia, USA, and China.

The company's substantial annual turnover and solid profit margin have enabled it to expand its market share through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

The Role

As the UK Managing Director, you will be responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of both divisions, ensuring they achieve sustainable growth in sales and profitability.

This is a high-impact role that requires a dual focus: transforming one division to enhance operational effectiveness and customer service while nurturing and expanding the established teams within the other division to maintain its market-leading position.

Key Responsibilities
  • Strategic Leadership: Lead UK operations, driving growth and profitability across both divisions while ensuring alignment with the company's global strategic objectives.
  • Operational Management: Conduct a thorough review of the first division's business operations to identify areas for improvement and implement effective solutions.
  • Budget Management: Work closely with the Group Managing Director and Financial Director to set and deliver on sales and expense budgets.
  • Stakeholder Representation: Act as the primary representative for both divisions, building and maintaining strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Supplier Relations: Establish and nurture relationships with key suppliers to integrate them into the business's strategic objectives.
  • Product Development: Identify and introduce new products that align with customer needs and contribute to the company's profitability.
  • Team Leadership: Motivate and manage senior management teams, ensuring that both divisions are aligned with the company's strategic goals.
  • Quality Assurance: Uphold the highest standards of quality across all operations, ensuring the company's reputation for excellence is maintained.
  • Legal Compliance: Ensure that all operations meet relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Health & Safety: Oversee health and safety standards, ensuring continuous improvement and compliance.
Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will possess 10+ years of experience in senior management, with a proven track record of driving growth and profitability within a manufacturing and distribution environment.

You should have strong leadership skills, with the ability to manage and inspire senior management teams, and a hands-on approach that ensures both strategic goals and operational efficiencies are achieved.

You will be a strategic thinker with strong commercial acumen, capable of making sound decisions that balance immediate operational needs with long-term growth objectives.

Your leadership style should be people-centric, fostering a positive and productive work culture that drives team engagement and performance.

What's on Offer

This role offers a competitive salary, car allowance, bonus structure, and an attractive benefits package, including a generous holiday entitlement, pension scheme, and health and wellness benefits.

This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a thriving business with a strong global footprint.
