ENVIRONMENTAL consultancy The Orchard Group has promoted three key staff to associate director roles as the Elland-based company continues to strengthen its senior management structure in line with business growth.
Kath Henderson (top), who joined Orchard Energy as an account manager in 2006 and has since been involved in HR and training, takes on the role of associate HR director with responsibility for recruitment and staff development.
Ian Dickinson, joined Orchard Energy four years ago and has played an integral part in developing Orchard’s client relationships. He becomes associate sales director on the renewals and retention side of the business and will support new and existing staff in client liaison and renewals management.
And Colette Costello, who joined Orchard as part of the pricing team in 2010 and has helped to develop the company’s Bureau Services division handling energy supplier queries and invoice validation, has been appointed associate operations director.
Gareth Henderson, Orchard Group managing director, said the appointments were the latest in a series of organisational changes designed to support growth and bolster the senior management team.
“I’m delighted to be able to announce the promotion of three long serving members of our team, all of whom have played an important part in the firm’s success,” he said. “Further strategic changes will be announced over the coming year as we strengthen our regional teams and expand into new areas of the UK.”
