Financial Controller

Your new company
My client is all about beautiful consumer goods for the house. Products that look as though they cost a fortune, but don't. They have an almost obsessive desire to win 5-star ratings from their customers, they are a tight-knit team of super-committed individuals who love what they do and who do it with a smile and a sense of humour.

As a company, they also recognise the responsibility on them to do what they do responsibly, ethically, fairly and with as little impact on the environment as possible. Further, they recognise the value that diversity brings to society and that business can play a valuable role in promoting it. And they believe that companies that embrace diversity and inclusivity are likely to do better as result. So, they are fully committed to choosing their employees, partners and suppliers purely based on what they bring to the table.
