Some roles keep the wheels turning. This one builds the machine for the next stage. A high-growth manufacturing and consumer-led business is at a pivotal point. New products have launched. Retail partnerships are thriving. Investment in technology and operational efficiency is underway. And with three acquisitions in the pipeline (and more to follow), the stage is set for serious growth.

You'll lead a small but capable team - yet stay close enough to the numbers to truly shape them. Manufacturing is the heartbeat of this business, so your impact will be felt in every area: production, cost control, margins, and operational performance. Here, finance isn't back-office. It's the engine room. And your leadership will define how that engine runs. Who you are A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent). Commercially astute and operationally grounded - you know how to make finance work for the business. Proven experience in manufacturing environments. Comfortable leading through both structure and uncertainty. Someone who thrives on growth, challenge, and shaping what's next.
