Lead the Business. Shape the Future. Build on 50+ Years of Success.
Are you a commercially minded operator who understands field-based service delivery? Have you built your career in drainage, utilities, groundworks, construction, civil engineering, infrastructure maintenance or a closely related sector? Do you know what it takes to earn the respect of experienced crews, lead from the front and grow a successful SME without losing what makes it special?
We are seeking a hands‑on Managing Director to lead a highly respected, long‑established SME into its next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to take the reins of a profitable business with strong foundations, loyal customers, an experienced workforce and genuine growth potential.
The company has built its reputation over 50+ years by delivering specialist commercial and industrial drainage, maintenance and related services to customers across London, the South East and beyond. This appointment forms part of a planned leadership succession following the retirement of a long‑serving and highly respected Managing Director.
You will inherit a committed team, established customer relationships and a business with significant opportunity to evolve, diversify and grow. This is not a desk‑only leadership role. We are looking for someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical operational understanding; someone who is as comfortable discussing growth plans with the Board as they are talking through site challenges, equipment, logistics, health.
