Summary
Your new company
This North Manchester based UK manufacturing group is a globally respected supplier of high‑performance commercial building products, serving sectors such as healthcare, education, retail, and leisure. With a strong international footprint across Europe, America, the Middle East, and Asia, it is widely recognised for its commitment to quality, making it an attractive and reliable partner for customers and a compelling employer for talented professionals.
Your new role
This is a high‑impact leadership role at the heart of a UK‑based, AIM‑listed group, as the Group Financial Controller / Company Secretary for the parent company and its subsidiaries. You will be the organisation's trusted expert on corporate governance, advising directors and senior management while ensuring the highest standards of statutory compliance. Working closely with Group Directors, you'll lead the coordination of board meetings, AGMs, governance papers, while maintaining statutory books and staying ahead of evolving regulations, including company law and GDPR.
What you'll need to succeed
The ideal candidate will be a highly capable governance and statuary professional, an ideally qualified accountant, though strong applicants with equivalent knowledge and experience will also be considered. They will bring a solid understanding of legislative, statutory and filing requirements, with experience of working within an AIM‑listed environment being advantageous but not essential. Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, are key, along with the confidence to work effectively across departments and build strong internal relationships.
What you'll get in return
In return, you'll receive a competitive base salary of between £80,000 - £100,000 (depending on experience), along with a comprehensive benefits package including pension and healthcare aligned to Group policy. You'll also be eligible for a discretionary bonus linked to both Group and business performance, reflecting your impact and contribution to success.
