The membership of this new Board will consist of existing Group Board members, the Managing Directors of our individual group companies and two of our senior team members.
“We are delighted to announce that Andy Gibbs has been promoted to Director of Services and will be part of this new structure. Andy has done a fantastic job for the network and for the group over the years and will be taking on responsibility for our payroll and tax consulting businesses, as well as continuing to look after our technical helpdesk function.
