As part of their ongoing commitment to their clients and their growth plans, they are moving to a new 57,000 sq. ft facility at Aycliffe Point, Newton Aycliffe. As the company scales, the Managing Director requires a highly capable, proactive and commercially minded Executive Assistant to provide a high level of support across the group of two companies.
