Financial Controller

About the Company

Motormax is a leading provider of innovative vehicle safety and security solutions, supplying a wide range of products including camera systems, parking sensors, DVRs, and bespoke installations. With a reputation for quality, service and continuous innovation, we work with both individual customers and some of the UK's largest fleets.

Motormax is a privately owned company which has, very recently, sourced institutional expansion capital to take advantage of the excellent commercial opportunities available.

Market growth is significant, driven by increasing regulation and proven improved economics for its customers due to both reduced accident rates and corresponding falling insurance premiums.

Our growth ambition is for Motormax to become the UK's market leader and a globally recognised player in the fleet safety sector. As we continue to expand, we are seeking an experienced Financial Controller to join our dynamic team at our head office in Shenstone.
