  • Handling share allotments, transfers, and dividends
  • Leading on company incorporations
  • Managing registered office mail and Inform Direct
  • Acting as the primary point of contact for company secretarial matters

About you?

  • Proven experience in a Company Secretarial role
  • Strong knowledge of UK corporate governance & compliance
  • High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
  • Confident communicator with both internal teams and external clients
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

?What's in it for you

  • Supportive, close-knit team environment
