I am currently working with an international design and build fit out contractor who have been operating in the London commercial interiors market for 40 years. Originally starting as a furniture contractor, they built a solid foundation in the industry and moved into main contracting specialising in CAT B fit outs.

The business has steadily grown over the years and currently sits with a group turnover of £60m. With healthy profit margins and cash in the bank they are in a good position to continue their previous success.

Culturally they pride themselves on a relaxed but quality driven atmosphere that has allowed them to be nominated for and win various industry related awards. Their family orientated structure, close-knit team and top-tier delivery has earned them a reputable name people want to work for.

They are now actively recruiting for a Senior Pre-contract's Manager with heavy D&B experience to oversee three pre-contracts managers already in the team. They do not want someone who will just sit back and delegate - they are looking for an extremely hands on and diligent pre-con expert who is well versed in the D&B fit out market, pricing projects up to the value of £2-10m with good GP.
