Stuart Godfrey Email and Phone Number

In a career spanning 33 years I have gathered a very broad skill set progressing to become Chief Executive Officer of a £100m+ company.I have had full P&L responsibility for a multi site group employing over 500 people for over 10 years. The business I have led is a major player in the plastics manufacturing industry and a major supplier to the blue chip utility sector, having been part of the Du Pont Corporation, the Finnish Uponor Group and latterly - following an MBO which I led - a British Private Equity backed group. During my career I have had responsibility for businesses in the UK and Ireland, other European countries and International sales around the world. I have set up joint ventures,technology transfer agreements,distributorships and agencies from Buenos Aires to Budapest,Abu Dhabi to Cairo. As CEO of a medium sized enterprise I have the skill sets associated with that role; P&L,balance sheet and cash flow management,senior personel management, organisational restructuring and multi site,multi business unit management. The business is characterised by relatively few,large customers and suppliers so Key Relationship Management has featured largely in my career. My early years gave me key grounding in accountancy,computer systems and operations management before I entered the commercial stream of my career development. The more recent years have given me experience and skill in corporate finance,funder relationship management and Board Director responsibility. I was Gas Industry Chief Executive of the Year in 2009, President of its trade association in 2011/12 and Chairman of the CBI in the East Midlands in 2008/9.
