GBP50,000 to GBP60,000 + Benefits

Wakefield, West Yorkshire

My client is a manufacturing business with an added value turnover of almost GBP4m and employs more than 30 people. They are part of a private family owned overseas group with a turnover in excess of GBP75m, who have invested heavily over the past three years in the Wakefield business's manufacturing capability.

Reporting to the Managing Director you will be an integral part of a Senior Management Team of three people who manage the business on a day to day basis.

This is a very hands on role with a wide range of responsibilities, managing only two staff who themselves have a wide range of responsibilities as well as their clerical and finance work. Your specific responsibilities will include:-


Providing key management information, analysis and advice to the senior management team.
Managing the Supplier Relationship which includes the buying of raw materials (which have a high value and give the company a significantly larger statutory turnover than the figure mentioned above) and the buying of engineering spares and repairs for the operational plant and equipment.
Managing the use of Forward Exchange Contracts (the business exports 40% of its products to Europe priced in Euros and buys raw materials priced in US Dollars).
Responsibility for IT, HR, Company Secretarial, Insurances (including Credit Insurance) and Finished Goods Distribution.
Playing an integral part in strategic and operational planning and decision-making.
Ongoing development of systems (Microsoft Dynamics NAV) and financial controls in line with business needs.
Driving innovation and commercial initiatives from idea to successful implementation.


The successful candidate will be a qualified Accountant (ACA, ACMA, ACCA), or possibly Qualified by Experience (QBE), who has extensive experience of manufacturing and stock controls and processes. You must have excellent communication skills and command instant credibility with non-finance staff, customers and suppliers, including professional advisors.

If you are interested in being considered for this role then please email your details to Jeff Price at or alternatively you may call him on to discuss the role further.
