Nigel Wright Group has a deep and diverse track record in finance recruitment across the North West, consistently delivering top-tier finance professionals into critical leadership, mid-management, and specialist roles across multiple sectors. From Cumbria and Manchester to Merseyside and Lancashire, our placements span senior leadership, interim assignments, and support functions in both public and private organisations.

Among the most senior appointments, we’ve placed Finance Directors at Angus Fire Armour in Lancaster, Jockey UK in Wilmslow, Furness General Hospital in Cumbria, and Spectrum Brands in Manchester. At North West Ambulance Service, we also placed a Director of Finance, further highlighting our credentials within public sector finance. Similarly, we successfully recruited a Group Financial Director at James Cropper, as well as a Head of Financial Reporting at Magnit Global in Knutsford.

Our strong interim finance capability is reflected in roles such as Interim Financial Controller and Financial Analyst at GlaxoSmithKline Manufacturing Ulverston and Interim Head of Finance at Astoriom. In Runcorn, we’ve supplied a Financial Sales Business Controller and Local Finance Manager to Ventcroft, demonstrating our ability to respond to urgent and high-stakes appointments in specialist industrial environments.

Manchester has been a hub of financial recruitment activity, where we've appointed Finance Business Partners, Commercial Finance Interims, Management Accountants, and Corporate Accountants for firms such as Morson Talent, Ernst & Young, Evergreen Life, and Romac Logistics. In addition to this, we’ve delivered ongoing finance recruitment solutions to Magnit Global, where we’ve filled over 30 finance roles at all levels—including Senior Accountants, Finance Officers, and Finance Modellers—supporting their extensive operational scale across the region.

Elsewhere in Cumbria, we’ve consistently recruited across the finance function—from Finance Officers at the Lake District National Park and Furness General Hospital to Company Accountants at Lakeland Power and John Barker Group. Our continued presence here includes appointments at James Cropper, Sovereign Chemicals, and Windermere Aquatic, including Interim Controllers, Group Accountants, and Assistant Accountants.

At Saica Paper in Carrington, we’ve built out their transactional finance team through multiple appointments including Accounts Assistants, an Interim Reporting Accountant, a Systems Accountant, and a Management Accountant. This speaks to our ability to deliver finance recruitment solutions at volume for shared services and back-office functions.
