• Employer: Building Supplies Group
• Location: North, UK
• Salary: Sig £six figures + Equity

This building supplies group is a highly profitable, financially strong business with group turnover of c£140million and a realistic target of reaching over £200million in the next three years. To help the business achieve its goals a strong, entrepreneurial and forward thinking CEO is required to work with the Executive Chairman and original founder on a succession plan to take the organization to the next level.

The successful candidate will be an experienced, go-getting individual with high influencing skills, credibility, stamina and persistence.

The unique attributes of the client are centred around a passion for customer service excellence – and an environment where people want to do business, to work and create wealth, has been created. Branch Managers all have an equity share in their branch and all employees are able to participate in a profit share. This entrepreneurial approach means that the business has decentralized operations with support for the Branch network provided in a number of positive ways from a central location.

The most important aspect of getting the right person for this role will be cultural fit. The right person will have an empathy with people and will be naturally entrepreneurial. He/she will be able to get the most out of the branch teams, pushing them to be willing to go “the extra mile.” The CEO will spend a great deal of time visiting branches, supporting sales and margin growth, helping them to acquire new customers, selling and maintaining the right product mix, and helping them to find and train the right team. The ability to develop great relationships with colleagues, suppliers and customers are important pre-requisites.

At operational level the remit is to bring a proactive, ‘can do’ mentality with specialist support, knowledge and skills, to help Branch Directors at each of the 37 existing branches stretch towards and meet new and challenging goals. At Board level the remit is to ensure the business stays a step ahead of its competitors, wins market share, and grows the branch network further in conjunction with the Executive Chairman.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with a well-rounded business education and the character, autonomy and business training that will enable them to take tough decisions when necessary. Ideally the successful candidate will have experience gained in a building materials or related growing retail/branch-based distribution business. This will not be a typical nine-to-five existence and the rewards will be commensurate with the effort and abilities required in a private-equity backed business like this including the potential for taking a significant equity stake.

As an Executive Associate (EA) of our client’s organisation, your role will be to support and advise Managing Directors / Owners (MD’s) of mostly small to medium sized businesses. Your appointments will generally be with an MD who wishes to speak to an Executive Associate about their problems, needs, concerns, or plans. On average this initial appointment normally lasts between 2 to 3 hours.

Your experience combined with the extensive in-house training and comprehensive support provided by our client, will ensure that you are able to provide support and mentoring whenever and wherever business owners need it.

You will have full access to the global network of knowledge, skills, experience and contacts and consequently what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive business support infrastructure in the world to help you and the companies you assist.

You may be mentoring, supporting and facilitating up to around 10 – 12 (or more) different businesses at any one time, as well as being contracted into other colleague’s clients on specialist assignments. However, you may wish to mentor a smaller number of businesses. The executives are free to choose their own assignment load and to work on a part time or full time basis.

All EA have the freedom to control their own hours, income and destiny without the usual controls and politics of corporate life. Bearing in mind that the more clients you take on, the more money you make! But you control how much you want.

Some EA have already taken early retirement and only want to work part time. Others are experienced consultants with an established client base who use the organisation to top up their workload. Some end up working closely with a single client and take a permanent executive or non-executive director role.

It is this very flexibility which makes joining our client’s organisation, combined with the training and methodology provided by our client and the support of the established global EA so powerful. Furthermore, the added advantage of you having a large global ‘corporate’ type identity through the use of the organisation’s identity with you using their logo, business cards and personalised email address provides you with a tremendous advantage.

You must be a visionary and proactive manager with excellent people and communication skills, able to work in teams of colleagues on multiple projects simultaneously.

There are no age limitations within this business, with maturity & experience being considered a great advantage & with the client company giving the executives the freedom to work as many or as few projects as they choose each year, so allowing for full or part time commitment.
