MANAGING DIRECTOR - Outdoor Home/Garden Improvements

"Strategic managing director position helping an ambitious family business achieve greatness".

Salary: c£50000 Performance Related Pay (OTE £80000)

Surrey

Commutable from Croydon, Epsom, Thornton Heath, Tolworth, Wallington, Purley, Morden, Esher, Tadworth, New Malden, Surbiton, Chessington, Kingston on Thames, Ashtead, Cobham, Oxshott, Sunbury on Thames, Leatherhead

Are you a commercially focused managing director with knowledge of the outdoor home improvement industry?

Our client is an established, successful and thriving family business on the cusp of greatness. But they need your help to get there.

As an experienced managing director, you'll know what it takes to grow a business. Of course, it isn't always easy, but when that business has an excellent reputation for supplying and installing high-quality products, it's an awful lot easier.

The family have built their business by putting the customer at the centre. And it's worked well. They have a growing customer base within the M25 region and are keen to expand it further.

That's where you come in. Having worked in the outdoor home improvement industry, you'll be familiar with their process. The directors envisage your background, including the outdoor home improvements industry, possibly involving decking, artificial grass, hot tubs, landscape gardening, or external workspace pods.

They tailor everything to their client's requirements, so no two jobs are the same, and the opportunities for upselling are considerable. In addition, they have a strong operations team who know exactly what they're doing, so your focus as MD will be on the commercial and strategic development of the business.

While they have a core product and focus for the business, they inevitably become involved in supplying other related services that fall outside of their current scope. For example, they sub-contract landscaping and are keen to develop their in-house team to supply that service. As the MD, you'll be able to flex your strategic muscles by developing and implementing those types of plans.

Their projects and customers vary considerably from private, domestic clients to large venues, such as the O2 Arena, so there are plenty of options for you to explore as the directors are keen to diversify into other areas. They see possible opportunities to create a franchise model for their business, so they will draw on your experience in building successful franchises.

As you can imagine, there are many other details to discuss, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV quoting reference LX 808386

INTERIM SENIOR BUYER/CONTRACT MANAGER - NEW PRODUCT INNOVATION

"An interim role for an experienced senior buyer/contract manager to create a new procurement supply chain for an innovative nuclear project".

North West

£Very Competitive Interim Rate (Dependent Upon Experience)

Buyers come in all shapes and sizes-from buying stock for a retail shop to sourcing components for a large-scale manufacturing operation.

All buying roles have a niche element and particularly in the nuclear industry. Our client is a key player in the UK nuclear engineering sector and is in the early stages of a new project.

As such, they need an experienced buyer to join their team and create supply relationships with key contractors.

Initially, they need to partner with design companies to arrange the supply of professional design services for the project to take it through to manufacture. As the senior buyer, you'll be required to work closely with the in-house product design and development team to source these suppliers and manage the tendering process.

When the contracts are awarded, you'll then create contract review processes to manage the supplier relationship.

Ultimately, our client's vision is to bring a new product to market which will be continually manufactured. As the project grows, you will need to bring other people into your procurement team to manage the day-to-day activities while your focus changes to creating the long-term supply chain strategy for the final assembly.

As for your background, our client anticipates that you will be a degree-qualified, strategic category and procurement management professional. Your previous experience will include working within a highly regulated industry such as nuclear, oil and gas, aerospace, or petrochemical.

Ideally, you will have worked with fuel assembly systems, precision engineering, and automated process technology. However, as a minimum, you'll need to be familiar with how complex engineering projects are created and the various purchasing challenges faced with a new product development process.

Initially, our client is offering an 18-month contract for this position, but they expect the project to last 2-5 years before reaching maturity.

As well as leading the team, you can also adopt a “player/coach” style by running your own sales campaigns alongside supporting and mentoring your team.

Their customers are distributors, project engineering companies, and end-user water companies. 

Understanding technical, engineered products will be highly desirable, and you may have previously been involved with selling valves, pumps, hydrants, and pipework. However, our client is more concerned with your knowledge of how the water industry works rather than specific product knowledge, which they are happy to teach you.
