You’ll be joining a thriving business – a profitable and expanding £40m turnover group with an ambitious and talented leadership team.

There’s chance to make a real difference here – shape and develop the reporting and MI to supercharge ongoing growth and success. It’s a stable, secure and aspirational group with a strong track record and excellent investment.
