Becky Horseman, who has been with the company for four and a half years, leading the accounts team, said: "I'm really excited to take up this new role. Whilst I will be carrying on managing the accounts, I will now be working with the senior leadership team on the strategic direction of the company and of course to make sure we are being as cost-efficient as possible!’’
‘’My role will also extend to cover human resources; I believe it's going to be a role that will evolve as time goes by as the business grows. It’s fantastic to be on this journey with the company".
Lister managing director Rob Lister said: "This is a well-earned promotion for Becky to become our first finance director and we've extended it, so she is also finance director of Lister IT Services as well as Lister Unified Communications.
"It's a big job and as we continue to grow, we need to look at all parts of the business in a more analytical way and it's great to promote from within and to have somebody already onboard, who understands the company and our ethos –delivering exceptional customer service and products.”
