Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will lead a small, experienced team comprising a Customer Service Director and three Internal Sales Support colleagues, while working closely with manufacturing, operations, and the senior leadership team.

- Construction Products
