Our client is a long-standing company in Northeast England, with multiple offices across the region and an existing client base with potential for this to grow. This role has arisen due to consistent growth and is in need of a senior farm business consultant to join their team.
Responsibilities:
As a senior consultant, you will have autonomy and ownership over your clients.
