A new Head of IC for a new UK team
William Hill have recently brought their Retail and Online businesses together into one big UK team as part of their focus on putting the customer at the heart of their operations. They approached us looking for a senior comms professional for this exciting and brand new position as Head of Internal Communications. Working with the UK Exec team to communicate with over 9,000 colleagues in 1,500 shops and the Online team based in the UK and Gibraltar, this role called for someone with excellent people skills, a strong strategic background and a flair for engaging colleagues with ‘one voice’.
Working with the UK HR Director at William Hill, we quickly found the ideal candidate to take up the challenge.
Donna has been a client of ours for many years, and after deciding to move on from her previous role she reached out to us to support her search for a new position as a senior communications leader.
We were delighted to be able to connect Mark and Donna, and facilitate a perfect match!
“I’ve worked with HarknessKennett for a number of years, with both their consulting and specialist resourcing teams, and I’ve always welcomed their expertise and thoughtful advice. Nicky and Tanya know the internal communications market really well so it was an obvious choice to ask for their help in making my next career move, and I’m really happy with the new role.”
DONNA DEW, HEAD OF UK INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS, WILLIAM HILL PLC
“I was recommended to HarknessKennett by a colleague who had worked with them previously, and have been delighted with their support, professionalism and responsiveness throughout the recruitment and selection process. Donna, as expected, has been a brilliant addition to our team.”
MARK SKINNER, UK HR DIRECTOR, WILLIAM HILL PLC
