    [description] => 
Parkinson Lee Executive Search are the retained recruitment partner to a high growth SME organisation based in Leeds, as they seek to appoint a Chief Financial Officer.



This owner managed business was established in 2010 and supplied products into the building/construction sector, and has been highly successful, experiencing exponential growth over recent years.



With strategically placed depots across the north of England and at a turnover of around £15million, the company has built an outstanding reputation based on providing its customers with market leading product availability and over-night, industry leading delivery times.

With ambitions to grow the business further and expand its geographical offering, my client has recently secured PE investment.



With that deal now confirmed and an exciting few years ahead for the company, the strategic decision has been made to bring in a Chief Financial Officer. The CFO will form a key part of the businesses board team with the primary responsibility for managing the investment, ensuring the requirements from the PE firm are met and delivering the reporting and analysis required to both satisfy the investors, and support the owners ensuring they meet their growth objectives.



The CFO will be a business partner and sounding board to the owners and play a significant role in the future growth and success of the business. In addition to operating as part of the board team, the CFO will have day to day responsibility for the 10 strong finance team. With an excellent and trusted Financial Controller in place, the role will be required to up-skill and further develop the busy finance team to support the company’s growth, create strategic reports such as a detailed business plan and 5 year forecast and act as a mentor to the FC as he continues his development.



There is also an opportunity to contribute significantly from a commercial viewpoint, delivering on projects such as the selection and implementation of new IT systems, providing insight and analysis around potential new depots/locations, analysing potential acquisitions and working closely with the Sales Director and Managing Director to maximise sales performance and company profitability.



For this appointment, we are seeking an ambitious, driven and commercially focused Finance Director who is ready for their next challenge. Applicants must be qualified accountants with significant post qualification experience and be able to demonstrate a track record of delivering the above key accountabilities within a similar sized growing business. Experience working within a PE backed company is desired, however candidates who have operated to strict reporting deadlines for a larger parent or different ownership set up will be considered. My client is looking to bring in an individual, who in addition to having the technical ability, will complement the current management team and demonstrates a passion for the company and its success that mirrors that of the owners.



This is a fantastic opportunity for a Finance Director to join an highly entrepreneurial and ambitious executive team with substantial growth aspirations.



To attract the right talent, my client is willing to pay a competitive salary and benefits package which will include equity (either on joining or soon after).

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.

•	Demonstrable achievements in the successful turnaround of underperforming businesses whilst developing and motivating a first-class leadership and operational teams

•	Outstanding commercial acumen with a solid understanding of ground working operations

•	A hands-on commitment to making and following through with significant, strategic decisions with resolve - but based on truly comprehending key business drivers and issues first

•	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)



The successful candidate will be a leader who will steer the company in the most profitable direction whilst also implementing its mission and long-term goals. A firm leader to the senior management team - who makes them true followers and attains top results without command and control.
