Why This Role?
This isn’t a “plug-and-play” management job. You’ll be part of shaping something new – building a services division, leading a team, and working closely with a hands-on MD. It needs someone with credibility on site, but also ideas and initiative in the office. You’ll get support and backing – but they need someone who can take the lead, build trust, and get things moving.
