About the Role
Our client is an established group made up of several operating entities across the UK. The group manufactures highly regulated, quality-controlled solutions for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, cosmetic, and consumer product sectors.
The group is growing significantly, organically and in terms of acquisitions, as well as investing in its technology, people, and operations. Broadly, it has doubled in size in the past 12 months.
As a result, it has created a number of new senior positions in finance and is seeking a commercially focused, strategic, and hands-on Financial Controller to lead one of its subsidiaries, reporting directly to the Group CFO and working alongside and with a dotted line to the subsidiary Managing Director.
