Meraki Talent is delighted to be exclusively retained by Genius Foods to appoint a permanent Commercial Finance Controller based in Edinburgh.

The CompanyLaunched in 2009, Genius leads the free-from category with delicious gluten-free bakery products. Genius was founded by Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne, who spent many years perfecting gluten-free bread for her own family in her home kitchen before taking it to market.

Genius was founded with one key thought in mind: isn't everyone entitled to great food? This mission has since underpinned business growth and remains the question Genius is passionate about asking today.

Genius products are developed to support a healthy digestivesystem on the premise that with a healthier gut comes a happier mind.

Genius provides great tasting food to anyone who is avoiding gluten - whether for medical or lifestyle reasons - without having to compromise on quality.

The Genius journey started with loaves - making the first fresh gluten-free product both tasty and widelyaccessible.

The product range has expanded to include further baked goods from pancakes to pies, with innovation, taste, and quality at the heart of everything Genius does.
