Managing Director Designate - Lancashire - £80k - £100k basic + bonus + car + benefits

Do you dream about taking that next step up in your career and becoming the managing director of a leading food packaging manufacturer? Well you could be one step closer to making that dream come true. With retirement on the horizon, the current Managing Director is looking for someone to eventually take full control of the company.

Not only is this a great progression opportunity, it is the chance to join a packaging manufacturer that has continually invested in technology to remain ahead of the game when it comes to innovation.

This rarely available opportunity is for an ambitious individual to play a key part in setting the strategy for growth, taking ownership of specific key initiatives to achieve targeted outcomes. You will be numerate and commercially astute, with the gravitas and intellect to add real value to senior management. We are looking for someone who exhibits a confident ability to manage change, and shows a hunger to play a part in the company's long term success through the delivery of improvements in working practices.

The role requires an effective manager who is excited by the thought of reaching company objectives through strong leadership. You must have the ability to command respect from all divisions of the business, supporting and motivating staff to achieve maximum output and profit. Dealing with people will be a key component, understanding different cultures both near and far.

Sales and marketing experience will be an added bonus; however our key priority is finding an outstanding leader who will one day take the reins of overall operational activity.
