Up to £60,000 + package + bonus / share potential
We’re acting for the owner of an established Fire & Security company who wants to step away and appoint a go-ahead General Manager in his place. Proper control. Exciting potential.
The company
The business has been going a little over 8 years and provides Fire & Security systems, solutions and services.
Around 80% of the business is service and maintenance, with solid client partnerships underpinning some substantial, rolling contracts. The company is especially well-known in the Government, Local Authority, Housing and ‘Blue Light’ sectors.
Installation makes up the remaining 20% of turnover (working with major vendors) and the business is well-placed to grow, in its Wales home market and across the UK.
Why this role?
The owner is planning to step away from leading the company so that he can concentrate on other business ventures.
While he’ll be available and in your corner, you’ll have real scope and authority to take the business forward and to spearhead its growth from a £700K + turnover to well past the million mark.
The clear growth opportunities are in tendering for larger service contracts within the company’s established markets, but that needn’t limit your ability to build on the company’s many key strengths in new sectors.
Key responsibilities
You’d be leading a relatively small team, so this is a hands-on role with a high profile in contract delivery and with clients.
The main focus though will be business development, as the face of the company and through all phases of prospect development, solutions selling and tendering.
Additionally, you’ll steer the profitable management of the business and champion the high standards for which the company’s known.
Beyond this, you’ll begin planning the longer term commercial direction the company and executing that plan.
You
You could be in operations or commercial management role, but either way you’ll know your way around Public Sector contracts and tendering within the Fire & Security industry.
It could well be that you’re working in a much larger organisation and looking for a new outlet; one that puts you in the driving seat and offers excellent rewards long-term.
And you’ll already relish the business development aspects of your work, as a confident sales prospector who can close substantial sales.
Beyond this you’ll have a clear understand of profit and loss, with a sound knowledge of Fire & Security technology, engineering methods and standards (BAFE/FIA).
What’s on offer
While you’ll come in as General Manager there’s the prospect of becoming MD based on your results over the next year or so.
The salary package is open to discussion, including the possible inclusion of share options and / or a personal bonus structure.
