Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a critical role in the development of the business as it continues to scale. It provides a motivated individual with an ideal opportunity to grow with the business during its next phase as well as providing exposure to the private equity environment., The role will require working from our Nottingham office 2 days per week to spend time with some of the key members of the finance team. Travel to other sites in the UK, and our Birmingham office, where the CFO is based, will also be required, blended with home working as required.

The GFC will work closely with the Head of FP&A supporting each other on day-to-day activities and projects as required.

Processes and controls exist across the business, and we have recently implemented 'OneAir' processes to align these across the acquired business units. The GFC role will be responsible for working with the functional teams to ensure these processes continue to be fit for purpose to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data held in our financial systems, the foundation for our KPI and financial reporting.
