Financial Controller
Help shape the financial strategy of our fast-growing, multi-entity business!
Were creating a new Financial Controller role at our headquarters in Bangor (North Wales), for an ambitious, commercially minded finance leader who wants to make a real impact in a growing business.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of the finance function in a small but rapidly scaling group.

If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves now and shaping something for the long term, this role offers genuine influence, progression, and visibility at senior level.
