Managing Director - Equipment Rental - Southern England

24 February 2026 SHARE

We're delighted to be partnering on a retained search for a Managing Director to lead an ambitious, family owned SME in Southern England as it enters an exciting new growth chapter.

This is a high impact, hands on leadership role within an asset intensive, service led business with strong foundations and real momentum. The platform is built. The structure is in place. Now it's about acceleration.

What makes this exciting?

  • Significant growth potential
  • Clear commercial opportunity
  • Active M&A strategy
  • Strong leadership team already in place
  • Board fully committed to expansion

This is not a corporate "sit back and oversee" position. It's a sleeves rolled up, lead from the front MD role where visibility, energy and commercial drive matter.

We're looking for a commercially astute leader with:

  • Proven P&L ownership
  • A strong sales bias and growth mindset
  • Experience in hire, construction, industrial or service led environments
  • The ability to build accountability and high performance

If you're an experienced SME MD, or a commercially driven GM/Commercial Director/Sales Director ready to step up, then get in touch for a confidential conversation.

Serious opportunity. Serious growth. Serious impact.
