Axon Moore has partnered with a exciting manufacturing business in Wigan to recruit a Head of Finance (Financial Controller).

About the business:

This business is a large SME that has undergone a large capex investment over the past three years, transforming their production processes and boosting their revenue month-on-month. They're in a really exciting period as they continue to grow and are casting their eyes to the next 3-5 year period regarding what's possible.

Where does the role fit?:

The Financial Controller will be the no.1 in Finance on site, reporting to, and being the right hand person to the Managing Director. The new Financial Controller will benefit from a peer in a sister-company, and mentoring from an external Group FD.

Impact:

The Financial Controller will have a strong finance team, releasing them to oversee finance but focus on the operational and commercial running of the business. The Managing Director expects to hire a strong manufacturing accountant who can help bring efficiencies, develop site KPI's, advise on strategy etc.

They're looking to appoint a strong leader, and they have a strong track record of promoting previous people in this role into FD's within their wider portfolio.

Culture:

This business is excellent regionally. They offer an enhanced benefits package (inc healthcare), they have a very low staff turnover and they're consistently investing in the wellbeing of their team. They have a culture of socialising outside of work, both as a department, and as a business. They're a very profitable company and they will happily resource and fund the new Financial Controller in their team gatherings externally - a massive plus in today's climate.

Profile:

Please apply if you are:

- Qualified (CIMA / ACCA / ACA)
- Have hands-on manufacturing experience
- Possess leadership qualities
