Group Finance Director Opportunity
Due to the Groups complexity and scale of growth, the demands on Matthew’s role have significantly evolved over recent years to a far broader leadership position. The required time commitment from Sean and Matthew in terms of attending individual subsidiary board meetings, providing strategic advice and decision making, provides context to this new external appointment.
To support and accelerate their programme of M&A activity, successfully integrate new acquisitions, lead on ESG initiatives, business infrastructure projects and crucially to protect company culture, they need to appoint a new Group Finance Director to enable Matthew to transition away from leading the group finance function. With a small group finance team of three including a Group Financial Controller, the role currently also has Group HR and IT (supported by an outsourced provider) as part of its responsibilities, with a dotted line to finance leads within each of the subsidiary businesses.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Financial Strategy and Operations across the Milbank Group
- Consolidated Reporting and Compliance
- Cash flow and Investment Management
- Leadership and Team Development
- Acquisitions
- Stakeholder Management
- Human Resources
- Understanding Family Business Dynamics

The preference will be an experienced individual who trained and qualified within the profession (ACA/ACCA), demonstrating exceptional leadership and stakeholder management skills across diverse finance teams from within a fast-paced complex, multisector group of companies. Chemistry and trust with shareholders and the SLT, as well as alignment to Milbank Groups culture and values, will be critical to this key appointment.
