Deputy Company Secretary

We're all about Impact. Your role:
As our Deputy Company Secretary, you’ll take a leading role in keeping Utility Warehouse’s governance running like clockwork, making sure we meet all our legal, listing, and regulatory obligations as a FTSE 250 organisation.
Here is what you’ll be getting stuck into:
Board and committee operations: Preparing monthly Board and committee packs, helping shape agendas, and taking clear, accurate minutes.
Managing group subsidiaries: Acting as company secretary for designated Group subsidiaries, looking after their agendas, packs, minutes, and filings.
Delivering key corporate milestones: Assisting with preparations for our AGM, supporting the production of the Annual Report, and managing the annual statutory accounts filing process to hit every deadline.
Maintaining statutory registers: Keeping company registers and the register of directors' interests up to date, working in tandem with our registrar and outsourced cosec partners.
Regulatory submissions: Completing share capital returns, Companies House submissions, and market announcements.
Strategic governance and ESG: Assisting with the annual renewal of Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance and collaborating with internal stakeholders to develop our ESG framework.
Projects and policy governance: Supporting the Financial Services function with governance fora and policies, while playing an active role in business-wide compliance training and projects.

Stakeholder & advisor management: Proven confidence working alongside external legal, audit, and governance advisors, as well as senior leaders.
Commercial & regulatory compliance: A clear awareness of statutory compliance, reporting, and broader governance frameworks.
