He is now responsible for the learning and development of employees across the Group, reporting to Naomi Austen, Group HR and Learning Director. Responsible for the day-to-day management, he is also tasked with establishing new training regimes, working with trainers to devise bespoke courses which answer the needs of employees and clients.
