Our second announcement is the promotion of our existing Director of Franchising – David De-Lacy Jones FIRP
David will now move into the role of Director of Franchising & Group Services. As well as franchise development, he will now manage our group services teams including Accounts, HR, Business Support, Key Accounts, Marketing, Advertising & Client Services.
David said “Whilst continuing to grow and support the Franchise Network taking the additional responsibility of Group Services will be a real pleasure.”
“Working with a team of passionate people who have all of Kenect’s interests at the heart of what they do leads to an opportunity to galvanise the support given to both our internal and external stakeholders.”
“From HR, Accounts, Marketing, and National Accounts the Group Services functions mission is to provide the best possible service and support allowing the business to forge ahead and realise its full potential over the coming financial year and the years ahead.”
“Group Services is well set to deliver on its goals with Katie Weston AIRP heading HR, Kelly Mellor AIRP heading the Accounts team, and Luke Bodell MIRP as the new UK Support Manager having nearly 20 years of service with Kenect Recruitment between them, all ably supported by a team of like-minded people.”
“With the introduction of a new dedicated Marketing team early in the New Year this completes the jigsaw of providing all of the necessary functions Group Services requires to fully compliment the business.”
“To facilitate our growth plan, Group Services is moving in the coming weeks to new offices twice the size of the current one which will enable our support functions teams to grow in line with the business ensuring seamless service and support.”
Congratulations David on your new role!
