How you’ll power our business as a Finance Manager

on the lookout for someone who can take the reins of our stock and cost of sales reporting at Flogas Britain.

We’re already supporting our customers to reduce their carbon emissions, by helping them make the switch from oil to gas. We’re also developing our offering for technologies such as heat pumps and solar panels, beginning to help our customers reduce their energy consumption and evolving new biofuels and renewable gases. All of which means job security, and opportunities to get involved in exciting new initiatives.
