Job Description
Resourcery Group are recruiting on behalf of the UK subsidiary of a leading, $multi-billion turnover, US global manufacturing business which operates across 6 key sectors. The business is constantly growing, both organically and via acquisition and, as such, can offer exciting career development opportunities around the world, especially-so within the finance department.
The UK subsidiary is a world leading manufacturer of specialised equipment and turns over approximately €40m. There are about 100 employees in the UK business and many are long-serving and passionate about the business.
