Are you a board-level Finance Director or CFO within a growing FMCG manufacturing business? Are you commercially driven, operationally credible and ready for a role where your influence extends far beyond Finance? Could your next move ultimately take you beyond Finance and into broader business leadership?
HPR Executive has been exclusively retained on a highly confidential Board-level Finance Director appointment for a successful, privately owned UK food manufacturing business entering an exciting period of growth, investment and development.

This is not a traditional Finance Director role. The business is seeking an accomplished FD/CFO with extensive FMCG experience who can operate as a true enterprise leader partnering directly with the CEO and Board to influence strategy, growth, commercial performance, manufacturing operations, investment and organisational capability.
Food or FMCG manufacturing experience is essential. Please only apply if you have significant senior Finance leadership experience gained within this sector.
We are particularly interested in hearing from:
- Finance Directors
- CFOs
- Divisional FDs
- Business Unit FDs
who can demonstrate a strong track record across manufacturing finance, commercial finance, margin and profitability, operational performance, capital investment, working capital, governance and the development of high-performing teams.
You will be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, commercially sharp and equally comfortable in the Boardroom and within the manufacturing operation. Experience of complex supply chains, private label, branded products, major retailers, foodservice, ingredients or contract manufacturing would be particularly relevant.
Why might you take the call? Because this is an opportunity to join a successful business before its next phase of growth, not after it. There is significant investment ahead, genuine Board-level influence, a broad executive remit and the opportunity to help shape where the organisation goes next.
Importantly, there is also clear longer-term potential for broader enterprise leadership, including possible succession towards Managing Director. This could therefore be particularly compelling for an FD/CFO who has already proven themselves in Finance and is now asking: “What could I ultimately lead beyond it?” Relocation support is available for the right individual.
Due to the confidential nature of the appointment, the identity of the organisation will only be shared with appropriately qualified candidates following an initial conversation with HPR Executive. All conversations will, of course, be treated in the strictest confidence.
