We are working in partnership with an innovative, pioneering dedicated EV charging infrastructure business who are transitioning from its manufacturing roots into a leading business services provider and is poised for significant growth and sector leadership. The company offers a unique platform at the intersection of clean transport, data-driven services, and industrial innovation, supported by a committed Board and strong financial backing.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-impact, purpose-driven business through its most ambitious phase of evolution. As CEO, you will drive the transformation from a manufacturing-led business to a market-leading provider of business services, encompassing data analytics, network management, consultancy, and equipment servicing. You will inspire and motivate an executive team and wider organisation, shaping a positive, values-led culture and delivering on the ambition to be the recognised leader in EV charging infrastructure. The CEO will set strategic direction, build market presence, and ensure operational excellence, balancing the rigour of an established manufacturer with the dynamism of a fast-growing services business. The role will demand hands-on engagement with operational detail, as well as the credibility to engage clients, partners, investors, and industry bodies at the highest level.

The Person

The successful candidate will bring a proven track record of senior leadership at CEO or equivalent executive level within a relevant sector (infrastructure, energy, logistics, transport, technology, or services). Experience of driving business transformation and navigating disruptive market change is essential, alongside strong commercial acumen, with direct experience scaling revenues and delivering on ambitious business targets. Strong communication, sound judgement, and high emotional intelligence are essential, as you guide high-performing teams through change with clarity, resilience, and a sharp focus on results.
