About the role
This is a great time to join MSV, as we have a new Executive Director of Finance and Business Excellence with vision to really make a difference for our customers and the business into the future.
The executive team and Board have just launched MSV’s new 3-year corporate plan, which has a renewed focus on strengthening our core business and continuing to deliver value for money.
