My client is an ambitious, fast-growing specialist fire and security Group with 13 businesses & sales of 16m. They have sourced, acquired & grown businesses in:- passive & active fire, FRAs, and security & electrical services across the UK, who are well established with high growth potential.
One of these acquisitions is the sole provider of passive fire services in the group, providing fire stopping and fire door works to properties across the UK. Since the acquisition, they have been establishing the team and processes, ensuring it has the foundations to grow & realise its full potential.
They are now looking for a managing director to oversee the business in its entirety.
The business is 3rd party accredited, with existing relationships and a network of sub-contractors. As the sole provider of passive fire services in the group, it represents a huge opportunity for you to take the central lead on growing the passive fire business across the group. This can be through continuing to grow & establish the existing business, or through further company acquisitions in the sector. The group is highly entrepreneurial & is always open to exploring further growth opportunities
They are looking for three critical elements in a candidate above all else:
- Commercially minded. Able to find good business opportunities, secure the sale, protecting margins & profit throughout.
- Leadership. Growing a small business & a new team takes perseverance, maturity & problem solving.
- Industry wisdom. Not just technical, but how the sector works now, & where it is going.
This will be your ship to sail and will be as close to running your own business as you could get, but without the financial constraints and risk and presents a huge opportunity for the right person.
