About the Company:
Our client is a market leading, multi-site retail and consumer flooring brands group with a national presence, who have grown significantly in the last decade.

About the Role:
The General Manager will take an active role in the leadership and day to day running of the business, as the family CEO transitions into a less operational role.

- Identify and capitalise on new market opportunities, product innovations and industry trends
About You:
- You will be a highly personable Managing Director / General Manager who can lead a branded business with a well established reputation
- Proven track record of driving growth, profitability, and market share in a multi-site retail or consumer products environment
- SME experience, ideally within the building sector, and on an upward trajectory
- Exceptional leadership skills, who will be a visible presence, and can motivate and inspire a company of over 100 employees
