Rutherford Cross is delighted to be partnered with Kelso Pharma to appoint an FP&A Manager, supporting the business through its next phase of growth and development.

Last Friday, Jonathan Donnelly hosted the Rutherford Cross Charity Football Tournament, bringing together a wide range of clients and partners for a day of competitive football, networking, and team-building. The tournament provided a fantastic opportunity for businesses to connect in a relaxed environment, while all working towards a shared goal: raising funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity.

Today, the SEC comprises three main venues: the SEC Centre, SEC Armadillo, and OVO Hydro. Together, they offer flexible space for exhibitions, conferences, and live entertainment, from small meetings to events exceeding 10,000 attendees. Ultimately, the role is designed to operate as a key business partner to both operational and finance leadership, linking external spend directly to budgeting, forecasting, and longer-term financial planning.

Rutherford Cross Consultant, Jonathan Donnelly, was delighted to host our first AI Driven Finance Roundtable Lunch with guest speakers, Steven Heeps and Karl Saunt, Partners at PwC.
