​

This is a fantastic opportunity to join and lead a busy manufacturing workshop in North Kent, producing custom build exhibition stands for a range of blue chip clients and installed throughout the UK and Europe.

​

The team you lead will include joiners, exhibition carpenters, decorators, machinist and labourers and we operate a range of plant including our own CNC machine, spray booth and a number of vehicles.
