Are you a Credit Control Manager or similar that has worked in a manufacturing or similar background looking to lead a tight-knit finance team within a well-established wholesaler offering a varied and autonomous role?
Since the 1990s, this company has built a strong reputation within the food industry, supplying major retail clients and growing into a multi-million-pound business with multiple sites across the UK and over 100 employees. Due to continued growth, they are now looking to strengthen their finance team.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
