Rutherford Cross Retained by The Denholm Group to Appoint a Group Finance Systems Manager

Founded in 1866, The Denholm Group is a fifth-generation family business. To ensure the continued strength of the Group, each generation has carefully considered the longer-term view of the future. That is why today, The Denholm Group has purposefully evolved into four divisions: Shipping, Logistics, Seafoods and Industrial Services. Through this structure, The Denholm Group can manage its risk by having a number of different businesses influenced by various differing factors.

Each division originates from shipping or maritime-related services and has developed and expanded its products and services to meet the ever-evolving market influences and customer requirements. This approach benefits all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, partners, suppliers and the local communities in which the business works.

Today, The Denholm Group has c.£500m of turnover per year and employs over 1,650 people (excluding Anglo-Eastern employees and crew).

The Denholm Group is creating a Group Finance Systems Manager position as it embarks on implementing a new financial reporting system. The system will ensure a higher level of data and analysis is used to make the best strategic decisions in order for the company to continue to grow.

The Group Finance Systems Manager will report directly to the Group Financial Controller and will identify and prioritise system and process changes with the overall objective of benefitting the business as a whole. The role will require business partnering to investigate and propose possible solutions and then project manage the overall development, testing, implementation and communication of the agreed changes to a high quality.

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with experience in implementing and maintaining new finance systems. The post holder will have exposure to a range of stakeholders across finance, IT and external consultants. Just Perform will be introduced in phases and there will be scope to be involved in a range of projects. The Group Finance Systems Manager will be the principal custodian of the group’s reporting system.
