If you can answer yes to the following then please read on and apply:

* Can you demonstrate a track record of driving turnover and profit?
* Can you manage a diverse team made up of Sales, Customer Service, Production, Operations and Transport
* Do you have a strong bias towards sales with some operational management exposure?
* Are you an inspirational leader that others enjoy following?

We have been instructed to find a General Manager (Strong sales bias) who will be based in Bristol and work for a European market leader who supply their solutions into the construction sector. Your main brief will be to deliver and exceed their profitability and turnover targets for the South West. You will manage a diverse workforce based in Bristol who can be loosely grouped into: Sales, Customer Service, Manufacturing & Refurbishment, Operations and Transport.

Reporting into a Regional General Manager your main thrust will be to secure the sales budget whilst delivering good profit margins. You will have several divisional managers reporting into you with their incumbent teams. To lead both field sales, key account managers and local internal sales personnel. To provide high quality of service delivery through the customer service team. To effectively manage production, maintenance, labour and materials budgets. To embed and extol the virtues of the company ethos, their corporate policies and procedures. To rigidly police and enforce Health and Safety policies etc. etc.

About you:

Undoubtedly an excellent manager who joins with a strong sale and commercial bias whilst able to manage other operational facets of the business.

It is unlikely that you will be an operations manager with a sales bias but you could be a senior sales manager who has some operations management skills.

Whilst an understanding of the Building and Construction sectors would be useful this is not essential - it's more about you as a charismatic leader and driver of turnover and profitability.

What's in it for you:

A basic salary of circa £80,000

An excellent benefits package to include Contributory Pension, enhanced Life Insurance, 25 days plus Statutory holidays, Car or Car Allowance
