The Opportunity
BIBUS (UK) Ltd is looking for a commercially driven, entrepreneurial leader to take the reins as Managing Director and shape the next chapter of growth for the business. This is a rare chance to lead a diversified technology trading and systems solutions organisation, with the full backing of an international group and genuine scope to build, invest, and win.
You'll set the strategic direction, own the P&L, and lead a lean, high-performing organisation across two UK sites — while acting as the market-facing face of the business. The mandate is clear: deliver sustained double-digit growth by expanding Mechatronics and Systems Solutions, defending our leading position in Environmental Technology, sharpening the Pneumatics portfolio, and unlocking new revenue through Engineering Services, MRO and adjacent markets like Hydraulics.
