Bookkeeper / Assistant Accountant

Superb opportunity for an accounts professional with knowledge of Sage Line 50 to join us at Halen Môn (the Welsh translation of Anglesey Salt), a growing and ambitious family business located on the beautiful Menai Straits.

The Company

In 1997, we left a saucepan of seawater to boil on the Aga in our family kitchen and as the salt crystals started to form, we knew we'd struck culinary gold. We started supplying Halen Môn Sea Salt to Swains, our local butchers, and today, our sea salt is enjoyed around the world by chefs, food lovers and even Barack Obama.

It has been served at the London 2012 Olympics, political summits and royal weddings. Along with over 100 of the UK's best delicatessens, we also supply Marks and Spencer, Waitrose and Harvey Nichols. Our sea salt can be found in more than 22 countries across the globe.

We have a shop and an outdoor café at our site in Anglesey, which was recently visited by Their Royal Highnesses William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and we also offer tours to show visitors how we make our salt. We were also proud winners of The Queen's Award for Sustainable Development in 2017.

We are a small yet strong team of twenty something people, a Jack Russell called Bella and a chocolate labradoodle called Jolene! We have been a family business since the very beginning, with a longstanding workforce who are proud and dedicated to working with us as we continue on our journey.
