Bespoke Quartz and Granite Worktop Fabricator – Site Based near Coventry
Candidate Location – Coventry, Rugby, Leamington-Spa, Nuneaton, Kenilworth
£50,000 – £65,000 Basic Salary + Profit-Related Bonus + Equity Potential
- Are you a production or a general manager in a manufacturing or fabrication environment?
- Perhaps you’re an operations or production supervisor in this environment, looking step up in a broader role?
- Experience in stone, granite, quartz, joinery, KBB or other made-to-measure manufacturing and fabrication?
- Looking for a new role where you can lead a business day to day, with the prospect of a stake in its future?
If so, here’s an opportunity for you. An established, owner-managed granite and quartz worktop fabricator is seeking a capable, hands-on General Manager to take on the day-to-day running of the business as the director’s step back from operations.
Your Role as a General Manager:
- You will be leading a team of ~10 across a range of disciplines, from fabrication, fitting, and design, through to sales and finance.
- Oversight of a ~£1.5m turnover business with its own factory and showroom.
- Reporting directly to 2 joint directors
- Ensuring jobs run smoothly from enquiry and templating through fabrication to installation.
- Managing staff day to day, with recruitment and disciplinary decisions made jointly with the directors.
- Planning budgets, pricing and discounts with the Sales & Operations Manager, for director approval.
- Working with the directors on the P&L, management accounts and cash flow, and liaising with the bookkeeper and accountants.
- Managing H&S across the factory and on site, including dust control and safe handling.
- Helping to identify and develop internal managers as the business grows.
- Supporting marketing and trade business development to build on steady year-on-year growth.
Ideal Background for the General Manager Position:
- Above all, you need production/general management experience from a manufacturing environment.
- Proven people management across office, production and site-based teams.
- Commercial and financial awareness – comfortable working with a P&L, margins and cash flow.
- Sound understanding of H&S in a manufacturing environment.
- Ideally, you’ll have worked in stone, quartz or solid surface fabrication, but bespoke joinery, KBB manufacturing, glass fabrication and aligned sectors will be considered too.
- Collaborative and comfortable working closely alongside business owners.
- Able to commute to the site near Coventry daily, with a full driving licence.
- You must have right to work in the UK without sponsorship.
The Company recruiting for the General Manager:
- An established, owner-managed fabricator of granite, quartz and natural stone worktops, with its own factory and showroom.
- Around 70% of work comes from repeat trade customers including kitchen showrooms, joiners and kitchen fitters, with the remainder from private clients.
- Turnover has grown steadily by 8–10% a year with very little marketing.
- They’re seeking a proven manager to take on the day-to-day running of the business and help drive its next phase of growth.
The Package for the General Manager:
- £50,000 – £65,000 Basic Salary.
- Profit-related bonus.
- Potential for equity participation for the right candidate.
- Pension & other benefits.
- 25 days holiday + stats.
