Emergency Services Fleet Management (Humberside) Limited - Non-Executive Director (Finance)

The post would be an ideal opportunity for an experienced Finance Manager to demonstrate their skills and knowledge and make a valuable contribution to communities within the Humberside region. Closing Date: 10am Friday 4 December 2026 Are you experienced in financial management? Would you like to use your skills, creativity and energy to help us to deliver valued support services that directly contribute to our work with the communities of Humberside? Are you interested in widening your horizons? If these apply to you, you might be just the person we are looking for to join our Board. On the 1 April 2015 Humberside Police and Humberside Fire and Rescue Services transferred the provision of vehicle and operational equipment maintenance and fleet management services to their joint venture company Emergency Services Fleet Management (Humberside) Limited (ESFM) based at Melton, East Yorkshire, and this is an exciting opportunity to work with us in delivering this collaboration. ESFM is a great example of how the emergency services in the Humber area can work together to provide a state-of-the-art facility at a much lower cost than working independently. Local blue light services are proving that together they can provide a great service to the public even in the face of severe financial pressure, and this is a real example of true partnership working to which we remain committed to its absolute success.
