Intro:
We now require a highly skilled and experienced Finance Director to join our Executive team alongside our 3 founders and Chair to take the business to the next level focusing on revenue growth and operating efficiency. This is an exciting board level opportunity to play a pivotal role in this transformational growth period offering high reward for successfully achieving our goals.
