New faces join the fish4 team

fish4 has announced the appointment of Anne Egleton as chief people officer and Barend Faber as customer services manager for fish4jobs.

Anne joined fish4 in September 2007 in the capacity of chief people officer, a newly created position within fish4. With an established background in sales management and HR, Anne will be overseeing recruitment over the three fish4 verticals - fish4jobs, fish4homes and fish4cars and implementing staff training and development programmes.

Barend also joined fish4 in September to become customer services manager for the fish4jobs vertical of the fish4 family. Barendís broad business background in quality and customer management for Cable and Wireless will be instrumental in implementing a new customer services programme, focusing on increasing client retention and improving overall customer experience.

The double appointment follows fish4ís recent success in the August 2007 NORAS Report, which named fish4jobs as the biggest online jobs board in the UK.

Joe Slavin, CEO fish4 comments ìWe are very pleased to welcome Anne and Barendís appointments as chief people officer and customer services manager respectively. We are confident that their vast business experience will enable them to successfully create unique development programmes and become instrumental in continuing to make fish4 a great place for staff and customers!ì

Anne Egleton adds ìI am relishing the challenges that will arise from spearheading the human resources department at fish4 and look forward to creating a consistent and united programme of recruitment and development. My work with both the London and Leeds offices will ensure a sense of continuity throughout the company and will continue to drive the growth of fish4.î

Barend Faber adds ìI am looking forward to liaising with the team of response managers covering London and Leeds in order to create a continuous customer services programme. My key aim is to ensure fish4 users benefit from excellent customer service and continue to enjoy a positive experience using the fish4jobs website.î
