Managing Director (Operations & Growth)

Reports to: Shareholders / Board

Lead growth. Build structure. Deliver value.

Our client is a well-established, family-owned business with over 45 years in construction and infrastructure supply (~£20m turnover). With strong foundations and long-standing Tier 1 relationships, the business is now entering its next phase — scaling in a more structured, commercially disciplined way.

This is a high-impact MD role with full P&L ownership and a clear mandate: drive growth, improve margins, and prepare the business for future investment or exit.

The Role

• Define and deliver the growth strategy
• Drive EBITDA and margin improvement through pricing and commercial discipline
• Strengthen and scale operations across supply chain and distribution
• Build a more structured, accountable organisation and leadership team
• Embed data, KPIs and performance-led decision making
• Lead the business towards investment readiness or exit

About You

• Proven MD / GM / senior operator in supply chain, distribution, logistics or construction
• Track record of scaling SMEs (£10m–£50m+)
• Strong commercial focus with experience improving margins and performance
• Hands-on leader, comfortable driving change on the ground
• Experience in PE environments or exit journeys is advantageous

A rare opportunity to take a respected business, unlock its next stage of growth, and deliver real value creation.
