Apply for the Assistant Financial Controller
Location: Greater Manchester
Job Description:

Plaza Group is a family-run company established in 1982. We started life as a simple door-to-door sales business, but in the decades since have grown and developed into a renowned fashion retailer, catering for both the wholesale and direct sales markets.

The unwaveringly dedicated work ethic that brought us to this point is still a cornerstone of our business, and as a result, we continue to grow in both size and reputation.

Our ethos is that fashion should have no barriers, and that whatever your shape or size, you should be able to wear fun and fashionable clothes that reflect your individual sense of style.

We supply our collections across the high street, to online retailers, and direct to consumers, and currently manufacture from India, China, Turkey, Romania, as well as the UK. On average, we supply 25,000 garments to a range of customers every week.

All our clothes are designed in the UK and manufactured to the very highest standards, and we have recently expanded our production capacity to keep up with the increasing demand for our brands.
