Office Management | Bookkeeping | Payroll | Purchasing | Manufacturing
Love being the person who keeps everything organised and a growing business running smoothly?
Parker Howley andamp; Co is a fast-growing Yorkshire manufacturer creating high-end bespoke furniture from our workshop in Mirfield.
We've grown from around andpound;1m to andpound;3.5m turnover in just four years, supplying beautiful made-to-order furniture to private clients, interior designers and high-end developers.
Now we're looking for a practical, hands-on Office Manager to work directly with the owners and take responsibility for the day-to-day administration, bookkeeping, payroll and purchasing that keep our business moving.
This is a varied role for someone who enjoys getting involved in a bit of everything. One day you might be processing payroll or managing invoices, the next raising purchase orders, dealing with suppliers, coordinating paperwork or improving the way something gets done.
We're not looking for a senior finance professional or corporate manager. We're looking for a capable, dependable all-rounder who enjoys the variety and responsibility of working in a growing SME.
