The Overview: This is a rare opportunity to lead the transformation of a high-volume Vehicle Preparation and Refurbishment division at scale from developing Operational Strategy through to implementation, delivery and beyond.
What are we looking for: We are seeking an exceptional Operational Senior Executive / Leader with a proven track record of designing, building and optimising end-to-end Vehicle Preparation, Refurbishment and Remarketing Operations within a major Automotive Retailer, Car Supermarket, Vehicle Remarketing business, Fleet Management company, Auction House or Digital Automotive Platform.
Is this YOU?
Here's the challenge you will be looking for: You will be responsible for developing the strategy, infrastructure, systems, processes and leadership capability required to create a market-leading operation that delivers faster vehicle turnaround, increased throughput, improved quality standards and enhanced profitability.
Leading large multidisciplinary teams across mechanical repair, vehicle technicians, fast-fit and tyre operations, bodyshop, SMART repair, paint, refurbishment and vehicle detailing, you will drive operational excellence throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle, from acquisition and inspection through to retail-ready to sell vehicles.
The successful candidate will be an accomplished executive who combines strategic vision with hands-on execution, capable of transforming complex operations, implementing best-in-class processes, and building high-performing teams that consistently deliver speed, quality and efficiency at scale.
This role is about creating a competitive advantage through delivering operational excellence and establishing a best in class vehicle preparation and remarketing platform.
What Success Looks Like:
Increased workshop utilisation, productivity and labour recovery.
Improved customer satisfaction, retention and aftersales revenue performance.
Stronger operational controls and measurable efficiency gains across all departments.
A highly engaged leadership team capable of driving performance and developing future talent.
Consistent delivery of financial targets, profitability and business growth.
Scalable operational structures that support continued, future expansion plans.
What to do next: The sky is the limit for an individual capable of delivering what the business needs, and with that comes a genuine opportunity to build and grow in a “red tape” free environment, whilst placing your fingerprints over a highly successful growing enterprise.
Sound interesting? Then reach out to me with your CV, and if you “fit the bill” I'll send you a more detailed brief.

Managing Director
Industrial - Engineering - MRO
Privately Owned | UK HQ
This is not just a job.
It's a succession opportunity.
Location:
Central England (Coventry, Leicester, Birmingham, Northampton or surrounding areas)
We are seeking a high-potential Senior Executive / Senior Leader who is ready to step into a Managing Director remit within a privately owned, international technology-led manufacturing group operating across the MRO, Industrial, Engineering and allied supply sectors.
With over 15 years of sustained growth, this group has built a reputation for innovation, autonomy, and long-term thinking.
Each international subsidiary operates with genuine independence, and this role represents full P&L ownership of the UK / Group HQ operation, with the backing of engaged owners and an experienced incumbent MD for full handover.
The Opportunity:
This is a Managing Director Designate role, offering a structured, supportive and fast track transition into full MD responsibility.
You will initially work alongside the current Managing Director in a mentoring-led handover, gaining deep insight into the business, its people, customers, and growth strategy — before assuming full MD status.
The remit is broad, autonomous, and commercially driven:
Lead and grow the UK / HQ business
Drive sales, marketing, and commercial strategy
Own operational performance and financial outcomes
Develop people, culture, and leadership capability
Represent the business at board and shareholder level
Who We're Looking For:
We're looking for someone special.
A commercially sharp, people-centric leader with the ambition, gravitas, and capability to run a business in its entirety.
You will most likely come from the MRO Supply Chain, Engineering Supplies, Industrial Equipment or allied product supply industries and already operate at Senior Leadership level, with a clear upward career trajectory toward MD.
Your Background Will Include:
Senior leadership experience within the market sector you are in.
Strong understanding of complex distribution routes to market and fragmented supply chains.
A proven record of Sales growth and Commercial performance.
Experience managing a business or business unit with real accountability.
Exposure to international trading environments (desirable).
Strong analytical and IT capability, able to turn data into actionable strategy.
A passion for technology and technical products.
The gravitas and confidence to influence at board and owner level.
You'll be ambitious, resilient, and comfortable with challenge — but equally collaborative, values-led, and committed to developing people.
Package:
Highly competitive salary (circa £100k+, negotiable) + Excellent benefits
Fast track to MD appointment rising remuneration (£150k)
Performance-related bonus
Company car
Pension
Clear progression to full Managing Director
Structured mentoring and handover from incumbent MD
Meet the Employer:
Initial online “Meet the Employer” sessions will be conducted by our exclusive recruitment partner Glen Shepherd.
📞 Call Glen for a confidential conversation: 07977 266309 📧 Or email your CV:
We are hiring now — if you're ready to take the final step into a Managing Director role within a high-growth, privately owned, international tech manufacturer, this is your moment.
JOB REF: 4318GSA

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or background.
