CONFIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITY
Luxury Executive is conducting an exclusive search for a transformational Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer to lead a distinguished British luxury lifestyle brand through an exciting phase of growth and renewal.
THE COMPANY
A globally-recognized British brand combining exceptional craftsmanship with timeless design. Recently acquired by an international holding company, the business is positioned for significant expansion while preserving its artisanal heritage and creative DNA.
THE CHALLENGE
Scale the business from £2.5M to £10M+ turnover while strengthening brand positioning, rebuilding commercial operations, and preserving craftsmanship values. This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial turnaround and growth opportunity.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
✓ 15+ years experience, 5+ at CEO/MD/Commercial Director level in luxury/premium lifestyle brands
✓ Proven turnaround or scale-up track record (£2M-£15M range)
✓ P&L ownership with strong commercial and operational capabilities

• Work with talented design and production teams
• Competitive executive package including equity participation
THE MARKET
Niche but highly engaged premium consumer segment. Strong brand equity with passionate customer loyalty. US and UK are key growth markets. This is about heritage, craftsmanship, and authenticity — not mass market.
WHY THIS ROLE?
• Rare opportunity to lead authentic British luxury brand
• Genuine creative distinction and heritage
• Clear growth runway with resources to execute
• International backing
• Transformational CEO role, not corporate politics
• Make lasting impact on British craftsmanship
APPLY IN CONFIDENCE
