**Norman Broadbent plc** ([LON:NBB](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/norman-broadbent-plc/nbb.l))
has announced, following the recent positive H1 2020 Trading Update and the acquisition
of Angela Hickmore’s minority interest in NB Interim Management, a range of new 
and important leadership appointments to help drive the continued growth of the 
Group.

**Highlights**

·      Angela Hickmore appointed Group Managing Director, reporting to Group CEO,
Mike Brennan

·      Jonathan Stringer appointed Managing Director, Finance 

·      John Begley appointed Managing Director, Industrials

·      James Gregory appointed Managing Director, Life Sciences

> **Steve Smith, Group CFO & COO**, said: This is another important step forward
> for the Group and very much part of our ongoing strategic plan. Angela will work
> alongside Mike and I to continue to drive the organic growth agenda whilst Mike
> and I will, amongst other things, also continue to explore non-organic growth 
> opportunities where we can further scale the Group. As a management team we are
> confident that having traded well during the pandemic, our ongoing strategy will
> enable us to offer exciting new career opportunities for existing and new team
> members.”

> **Mike Brennan, Norman Broadbent Group CEO**, said: “I am delighted to announce
> these new appointments and promotions. Having worked alongside Angela these past
> four years I have seen first-hand how effective she is. Having successfully taken
> responsibility for our Interim, Solutions, and Research & Insight businesses, 
> and recently having bought out her minority stake in NBIM, it is a logical step
> for her to take overall responsibility for the day to day operations of Search
> and Consulting as well. These are all critical services we provide to our clients
> and our objective is to continue to grow and develop them further.   
> As we streamline the Group and create multi-service, client focussed ‘Hubs’, we
> are not only bringing in external expertise but also developing and promoting 
> from within. As a progressive, client-focussed business I am delighted that Angela
> is stepping up and that we have appointed four new MDs to help drive growth. These
> moves are very much in line with the strategic direction laid out in past market
> announcements and will lay the foundations for 2021 and beyond. By operating in
> sector and functional ‘Hubs’ we will get closer to clients, continue being able
> to provide relevant solutions to their needs, and fuel further growth. 
> The Head of our Search Practice, Tim Hammett, has decided to leave the Group to
> pursue new opportunities. On behalf of the Board and the team I would like to 
> thank Tim for his hard work and wish him well for the future.”
