This is an opportunity to join a successful family-run business that has grown rapidly whilst retaining the close-knit culture that made it successful in the first place. With a team of around 40 employees, the business combines the agility and friendliness of an SME with the reputation and client portfolio of a much larger organisation.

Operating across the engineering, nuclear, infrastructure, aerospace and manufacturing sectors, the business delivers specialist asset protection, preservation and project support solutions for some of the world's most recognised organisations, including EDF, JCB and Jaguar Land Rover, alongside supporting major UK infrastructure programmes.
