We are retained exclusively to appoint a Finance Director for a long-established, family-owned Group with a proud heritage and an ambitious outlook. The business operates across multiple markets, with complex manufacturing and international supply chains. They are well-positioned for their next chapter of consolidation and growth.
This is a classic SME Finance Director opportunity — broad, hands-on, and strategically influential. You will lead and develop the finance team, manage complex stock and working capital, oversee the banking relationship and provide insightful reporting to support the Board.
The successful candidate will bring the following skills and experience.
* Proven Finance Director experience in a complex SME or privately-owned group.
* Strong cash flow, stock, and working capital expertise.
* Experience in ABL financing and foreign currency management.
* A hands-on and inclusive mindset and approach to leadership.
* The ability to build relationships across operations and provide both support and constructive challenge.
This role will appeal to a commercially minded finance leader who values openness, honesty, and collaboration, and who is motivated by the opportunity to shape the future of a successful business. It will also suit an experienced Financial Controller looking to make the move to FD.
Immediate or short-notice availability will be advantageous.
