Livingston James is delighted to be partnering with Denholm Industrial Group to appoint a Divisional Finance Director, a key leadership appointment that will support the business through its next phase of growth and development.
Part of the Denholm Group, a privately owned family business with more than 160 years of heritage, Denholm Industrial Group operates within one of the UK’s most respected and diversified industrial organisations. The wider Group generates revenues in excess of £0.5 billion and employs more than 1,700 people across its Shipping, Logistics, Seafoods and Industrial Services divisions.
Generating revenues of approximately £130 million, Denholm Industrial Group is a thriving and growing business delivering five critical services: Access, Surface Preparation, Thermal Insulation, Industrial Cleaning, and Roofing & Cladding. Through its core businesses, Denholm Industrial Services and Weatherproofing Advisors (WPA), the division supports customers across the Marine, Access, Power and Infrastructure sectors throughout the UK.
As the division enters an exciting stage of development, supported by a strong balance sheet and the backing of the wider Denholm Group, it is pursuing a strategy of organic growth alongside targeted acquisitions. As part of a planned succession process, and in anticipation of the retirement of the current Divisional Finance Director, the business is seeking to appoint a successor to help lead the next phase of its evolution.
The Opportunity:
Reporting to the Divisional Managing Director and working closely with the wider leadership team, the Divisional Finance Director will be a key member of the Board and Senior Leadership Team. The role will provide strategic financial leadership across the division, leading the finance function while enhancing commercial insight, supporting acquisition activity, strengthening operational decision-making, and driving improvements in reporting, systems and automation.
Denholm Industrial Group is seeking an engaging and commercially minded finance leader, qualified at ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent level, with experience operating within a project-led and operationally intensive environment. Exposure to industrial services, engineering, construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, marine or similarly complex sectors would be advantageous. The successful candidate will combine strong technical expertise and commercial acumen with the ability to influence at Board level, whilst adopting a pragmatic, hands-on approach that aligns with the culture and values of this highly respected business.
Based at Denholm Industrial Group’s Yeovil headquarters, the role will involve occasional travel to other UK sites as required. The successful candidate will benefit from a market-leading remuneration package, with relocation support available where required.
