The business forms part of a larger ownership group and has experienced a period of instability over recent years. With a strong order book, renewed investment, and a clear improvement strategy now in place, this is an opportunity for an experienced operator to make a lasting impact.
The Role
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
