Job Description
General Manager: Testing and Inspection, Medical and Pharmaceutical
We need a hands-on driven individual who can help bring our acquisitions together and ensure we maintain their performance whilst ultimately improving them and integrating them into our company. We selected the businesses we buy for their reputation and success and we need someone who can understand the nuance of each of these companies and ensure we retain the positives and improve on areas that can be refined. This role will require someone to wear many hats, travel throughout the UK and Ireland, and be capable of making both business-critical and sometimes hard decisions. This isn't a role where you can hide; you need to be visible and accountable at all times.
