My client is a privately owned freight forwarding & logistics company. They have offices throughout the UK and Central Europe and they are rapidly growing their rail, sea, land and air operations. They have appeared twice in the 100 fastest growing companies list. They now seek a European Finance Director to help them with their next stage of growth.

The FD will, in effect, be a business partner to the owners, assisting them with strategic business decisions including mergers and acquisitions and helping them to identify new global business opportunities. At a more practical level, they will be responsible for the harmonisation of financial reporting procedures across the group companies, some of which are used to operating autonomously. Additionally, the FD will assist with creating a tax efficient corporate structure as well as leveraging the currency markets to best effect.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced FC or FD to join a profitable, fast growing business in a wealth creation opportunity. We are looking for someone with an understanding of the logistics /freight industry (or similar), mergers & acquisitions experience, and the gravitas to run an expanding & culturally diverse group of companies.
