The business has achieved record profit lately whilst also growing revenue which they are proud of, as they are of their customer relationships, but there is more work to be done. They are smaller in the UK than they like, with a plan to grow through developing their specialist product portfolio and service offer, acquisitions, and potentially international expansion.

Ideally this experience will include one or more of the following: semiconductor, pharmaceutical, aerospace, chemical and / or other regulated high purity sectors.

The opportunity to inspire this forward-thinking organisation, and grow with their business, makes this an exciting position worth exploring further.
