Rutherford Cross is delighted to be partnered with one of the largest, family-owned, infrastructure and support service businesses in the UK to appoint a Finance Manager. This opportunity has arisen due to internal promotion and represents a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious accountant with a track record of staff management to join a highly reputable and successful Scottish business.
