Head of Commercial - Drylining 

Senior roles within the construction industry don’t always pop up and when they do its usually due to a retirement or restructure. Both of these reasons present further questions.

• Why can’t the company promote from within?


• Why the need to restructure?


• What will you inherit?

The role we are recruiting for, Head of Commercial, has evolved due to rapid growth within the business for the last few years. Strategic buy ins, a new Managing Director and streamlined process and procedures have enabled a £8M turnover company to become a £40M powerhouse.

The sky is the limit.

You will be working with an inspiring Board who will take you on this journey to the pinnacle of your career.
