This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the future development of a well established, market leading business in the rapidly growing solar energy sector. With a trading history of just over 10 years they have created an excellent reputation based upon quality products allied with exceptional customer service. Now, with the backing of their parent company, they are poised to be at the forefront of the UK’s low carbon energy revolution as solar thermal and solar PV become mainstream technologies.

As MD of the business you will devise and deliver the strategic plan to ensure they remain number one in the sector. Their success to date has been based mostly on word of mouth, but moving forward with the industry becoming more competitive they will need to become more high profile and proactive in their approach from a sales, marketing and perhaps most importantly a product perspective: as the technology advances you will need to review the supply agreements they have in place enabling the business to stay ahead of the game. This is also true of government policy and regulation which can significantly affect the marketability and profitability of their products. Hence it is highly desirable that you have an understanding of and a personal interest in the sector.

As well as developing their external customers, there is a very real opportunity to do more business with other group companies.

Whilst a technical understanding is undoubtedly important, an equal priority would be a strong commercial nous, perhaps from previous General Management or Sales & Marketing roles within the industry?
