He joined NAG 13 years ago working for the Stafforce brand and since then he has held various roles including head of IT and head of shared services.
In his new role, Chris will develop and oversee the implementation of the long term IT strategy and future IT strategic projects which also involves managing a team of front line IT support technicians, system specialists, and outsourced IT partners for Cloud hosting, telephony and IT helpdesk services.
The group HQ is in Rotherham. Bruce Allen, financial director, NAG, said: “Our sector is highly competitive and IT is a vital key differentiator. In today’s digital world, IT has the ability to add value and strengthen client relationships by improving all user experiences. Chris has proven that he has the leadership, managerial and technical skills required to implement the IT roadmap we have developed for the group as we integrate platforms and new businesses across our portfolio of brands.”
