Finance Manager

We are seeking an experienced Finance Manager to oversee all financial operations of Redruth Revival CIC and the Buttermarket. This role is crucial in ensuring compliance, transparency, and strategic alignment with our mission.

The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, process-driven, and proactive, with a strong eye for detail and the ability to support the diverse financial needs of our organisation.

Background

Redruth Revival is a Community Interest Company (CIC) – this means that all the Directors give their time voluntarily and any profit is reinvested in the company for the good of the town. We are a regeneration-focused CIC committed to revitalising local heritage, fostering inclusive community development, and driving economic resilience. Our income is generated through a blend of commercial hospitality operations, venue hire, rental income and strategic grant funding.

Redruth Revival owns the Grade II listed Buttermarket complex which includes the Mining Exchange, Auction House and Wheal Peevor Purser's Office as well as the former HSBC Bank in Fore St and the Fair Meadow Car Park and Old Store next door to the Buttermarket.

Following a £4 million refurbishment project the Buttermarket is now open and home to six kitchens, a bar, gallery, retail and workspaces. The ambition is to have markets all year and to use the courtyard as a festival and event space.
