The fire industry is growing, ironically, like wildfire. You're starting to see contractors expand and grow all over the place but very few have the backing and present an opportunity like this one. You'd be front and centre for a drylining firm who are now in their 2nd year of also growing their fire stopping business, giving you the platform to essentially be the head of a 2 year old business with £30m worth of T/O behind it and plans to reach £50m which leads you to having a brilliant opportunity. You'd be looking at a salary up to £65k (ish) plus package, but more importantly you'd be looking at a long term role that sees you in the big chair. Worth a chat? Click apply and we'll be in touch.
