Bodorgan Estate, Anglesey, North Wales

The Bodorgan Estate is seeking to recruit a General Manager to help revitalise the Estate and develop it into one of Wales’ leading and best run estates.

This is a hands-on and challenging role and requires an experienced, adaptable, collaborative and imaginative individual who:

• is as committed as we are to the future success of Anglesey;
• has the ability to lead and inspire the team; and
• will work together with the Chairman, the Group COO and the whole Bodorgan team to deliver our ambitious vision.

The Bodorgan Estate is a multi-generation, family-owned estate which is today the largest land-holding on Anglesey and with much of its potential as yet undeveloped. The Estate comprises:

• traditional estate assets such as let farms, a large residential and holiday let portfolio, family houses, gardens and amenity land, forestry, and let quarries;
• a growing collection of directly operated businesses including a farm business operated on a 50/50 partnership basis, a coastal caravan park, and sporting businesses;
• a full-service property management team and a property maintenance team; and
• high quality natural assets (ecology and landscape).

THE POSITION

Responsibilities will include:

• Taking charge of all aspects of the Bodorgan Estate and the leadership of the whole team on a daily basis as well as representing Bodorgan at all times and at all levels
• Being a permanent and visible presence as well as working closely with the Chairman and reporting regularly to the Group COO and Estate trustees
• Drawing up and delivering multiple budgets which generate a healthy and growing cash surplus
• Effective dealing with local farmers, government officials and local stakeholders
• Defining and delivering the Estate’s conservation objectives

THE CANDIDATE

You must have:

• A powerful reason for wanting to work in North Wales and a demonstrable interest in Bodorgan’s asset base
• Experience of managing rural property assets; running a team of people (although not necessarily a team of rural property managers); and drawing up, delivering and reporting multiple budgets
• Organisational awareness combined with the ability to lead change
• A keen focus on implementation and a desire to deliver results
• A high degree of autonomy and self-motivation
• Natural diplomacy and common sense
