Stuart Hale has taken over the reins as Chief Operating Officer at the NFRN.
Hale brings with him a wealth of experience in senior management roles in retail and manufacturing, including 18 years with electrical retailer Dixon’s.
His career has also taken him to Porsche and Jaguar Land Rover, and his most recent role was as a strategy director for Hero Wellbeing Solutions.
Hale said: “The Fed hasn’t had a COO for a while, so it’s nice for the team to have someone in place and to know that we are all working together as a team, adding value to the business, and that their value is recognised.”
Hale will be based at the organisation’s head office at Bede House in Durham.
