Our client is the owner of two private members clubs based in central London. The clubs boast of an unrivalled reputation and are both poised for growth, with more locations planned, and are looking to further develop their member offerings. This organisation maintains a truly unique experience in the concept of private members clubs with exceptional standards of service, luxury and a clear understanding of how to build and nourish a vibrant member community, whether that be for their members’ social or professional lives.

The Board are now looking to hire a Finance Director who will work closely with the Managing Director and assist the Senior Management Team in successfully taking the clubs along a growth journey taking advantage of the increased interest from potential new members both in London and further afield.
