We've been retained to appoint a Chief Financial Officer for a profitable, privately owned UK business with national reach in the industrial services and equipment sector.
The business is in strong shape — turnover approaching £10m, consistently high margins, and a clear trajectory of growth. With a value-realisation event on the horizon over the medium term, this is a pivotal moment to join and shape what comes next.

* Helping transition the business toward a more scalable operating model
* Preparing the business for future investor or buyer scrutiny
* Crafting a compelling narrative around performance and value creation
What We're Looking For
* A qualified finance leader with senior SME or mid-market experience
* Background in operationally complex or asset-intensive environments
* Strategically minded but genuinely hands-on — comfortable at all levels
* Experienced working closely with owner-managed or entrepreneurial leadership teams
* Strong commercial acumen with the ability to influence beyond finance
What's on Offer
* Competitive executive base salary
* Meaningful participation in long-term value creation
If this feels like the right moment in your career, we'd welcome a confidential conversation. Further details will be shared selectively as discussions progress.
