Our group business accounting function runs from the Netherlands with UK to EU/ROW logistics, imports and exports being handled in the UK. We have sales offices in several EU countries & in the UK.

Each office works independently although we share common ground through the company accounting and order processing system which is built around _SAP Business 1, Microsoft 365 and_ _Google Drive._

Our UK Operations are Hiring

We are now in the process of setting up a brand-new office in Ayr in the West Coast of Scotland.

We are looking to build a first-class onsite team to work from our new office to support our Worldwide business.

The team in Ayr will become the foundation of our UK Business which feeds into our Worldwide operations.

The initial admin team will have room to grow into our ever-changing business needs and has the potential to grow into other areas of our business such as Sales and Quality Assurance if desired.

There are initial opportunities to join our New Admin Team in the following roles:
Position: Office Administrators: onsite; Salary £ 24,000 - £ 32,000 Pro-rata
- About the Roles |

We are looking for administration superstars that we can support and help nuture as our business grows and develops.
By being hands on at ground level you will get to grips with all aspects of how our company operates, and how all parts link together. You will gain experience of a wide range of areas of business and as your own strengths shine through, we will look to help you develop further in those areas.

The role will be based at our new office in Ayr, which will be the hub of our UK operations and most training will be carried out onsite. There may be additional training delivered by online courses and development opportunities relevant to your role and you will be encouraged to uptake such opportunities. Occasionally it may be required for you to visit one of our other Satellite offices, across the EU, for training or company business but your role will be predominately based onsite at Ayr.

Our initial thoughts are to have 2-3 part-time administrators making up the team, with them to be flexible in order to step up and provide additional cover during holidays or busy periods but this is flexible for the right people, and this is only a guide and for the right people this could be adapted to suit.

Salary will be dependent on experience and will be reviewed on a regular basis as your role develops.
