  • Leading and developing the finance team
  • Working closely with operational leaders across multiple locations
  • Supporting future growth initiatives and process improvement

  • Experienced Finance Director / Head of Finance operating as a number one
  • Background within distribution, logistics, wholesale, manufacturing or another operationally led environment
  • Strong commercial awareness alongside technical credibility
