Established more than 27 years ago by Pete Eville and Rob Jones, with an annual turnover of circa £33million, Eville & Jones are the leading provider of veterinary official control services and meat inspection services to the government Food Standards Agency (FSA).  Their staff deliver audit, verification and enforcement services in the fields of animal health, public health and animal welfare.

The organisation also has related operations overseas in Spain and Australia - albeit on a smaller scale.

Eville & Jones has a wide range of skills and expertise contained within its personnel base: employing around 750 staff, ensuring that most skill requirements can be met directly from within the team.  The company is recognised as the clear UK industry leader and is well connected to key decision-makers throughout Europe and further afield.  The strength of the company lies in the core capability and competence of its staff and the management team.

An opportunity now exists for a CEO. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the CEO will take full day to day control and responsibility for the Eville & Jones organisation, here in the UK and overseas.  

In addition to ensuring the business delivers the annual budget over the next 3-5 years, the CEO will be responsible for developing and implementing a growth strategy; ensuring Eville & Jones are taking full advantage of the huge, post-Brexit opportunities presenting themselves to the business.

As CEO, key responsibilities will include:

•	Ensuring the FSA contract continues to be delivered to the very highest standards.

•	Establishing and maintaining strong personal relationships with the Food Standards Agency and other customers.

•	Ensuring the continued profitable growth of the business. 

•	Providing overall leadership to the Head Office /regional management team.

•	Ensuring the business is on target to deliver the annual budget whilst protecting profitability and improving efficiency.

•	Further development and growth of the Australian business.

•	Implementing a strategy to improve field staff engagement and retention.



In addition, the CEO will

•	Be a visionary and inspiring leader who can develop and empower teams to deliver to agreed objectives.

•	Ensure that for reporting team members, and throughout the organisation, employees have the experience, skills, competencies, knowledge or necessary training and development plans to achieve both Eville & Jones’ and their own individual objectives.

•	Develop, with the team, a comprehensive short and long-term commercial plan for business growth demonstrating prioritisation of resources, investment where required and action or project plans.



This role is as much about your personal leadership qualities as it is about knowledge. We are seeking a well-rounded leader who enjoys delivering corporate business objectives and priorities. You will need to have a strong work ethic, be driven to succeed and have the ability to lead, inspire and engage a large multi-disciplinary team of highly engaged individuals.



Our ideal candidate will be:

•	A graduate, with an MBA being advantageous.

•	An individual capable of leading high performing teams through organisation development & growth, preferably within a multi-nationality, multi-site environment.

•	Experienced in leading a remote workforce – ensuring individuals feel part of and engaged with the business.

•	Someone who possesses the ability to communicate a compelling vision to key stakeholders internally and externally to achieve operational outcomes.

•	A passionate business leader who displays energy, drive & gravitas.

•	Capable of flexing their leadership style without compromising their values.

•	Empathetic but also tough, as the situation demands.

•	Respected for supporting, coaching and influencing your team, senior colleagues and peers.

•	Against a backdrop of increasing complexity and significant growth opportunities make recommendations to help the business prioritise its capital and resources; recommend plans which will drive revenues, margin and profit contribution

•	Leading the business planning (budget, forecast & 3 year strategic plan) processes



The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with at least 10 years post qualification experience, gained ideally within the manufacturing or FMCG sectors. You will have up to date technical finance knowledge, but more importantly, have acted at the strategic board level as number one FD or CFO.

•	Intuitive understanding of operational and financial measures of performance, and a track record of delivering results

•	Relevant experience in construction, construction materials, facilities management, large projects/contracts businesses or other relevant sectors (preferred although not essential; the calibre and track record of the individual is of higher importance)
