We have completed numerous diverse client assignments over the last 5 years and the work is always interesting and challenging.

Following our best year ever in 2019 and a committed, long term client base in 2020, we are now in the process of establishing 2 new specialist divisions for the business. Consequently, there is a need for an enthusiastic and hard-working person to join the company at this exciting phase of growth.

  • Any other ad hoc work as required, such as general administration, producing reports, web research and supporting clients.

This is an entry level role, including full and ongoing training for a business which has maintained positive growth over the last 5 years. Not only will this role be interesting, varied and challenging in the short term, but it will offer superb development potential for the future. Initially there will be a comprehensive 6-week training program. Rapid progression to a genuine consulting role is expected and there will be genuine long term career opportunities for the future.
