The Exec Leadership acknowledge that we have played a key role in more than doubling Revenue and Profit over those last 9 years.

We are a friendly, high achieving and resilient team, working cross functionally with all business departments, and adding value through insightful data analysis which guides operational and strategic decision making at the highest levels. In your role, you will be regularly meeting Directors of the business and can expect to be presenting to senior leadership and the CFO.

We are proud of the progression team members have made both in the quality of their work and the exposure it receives, and role progressions with promotions to Team Leader, Manager and Director.
