From the horse’s mouth – Jane joins!

Hello readers, FatBoy here! As well as enjoying some lovely rides on the Ashdown Forest, watching the season change from summer to autumn, I have a very important and enjoyable job this issue – announcing the arrival of a new CBI team member!

Jane Ritchie has joined the agency as Executive Assistant. Before coming to us, Jane spent four years as Executive Assistant to David Gold, Chairman of Ann Summers and co-Chairman of West Ham United Football Club. With a qualification from the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (MCIPD), Jane brings a wealth of HR managerial and operational experience to CBI. Her career started at Mothercare, which she joined as a graduate management trainee, progressing to become Area Manager. A number of project co-ordination and managerial roles followed for organisations such as Domestic & General and international law firm DAC Beachcroft – overseeing personnel and relocation/refurbishment projects. We hope you will join us in welcoming Jane to the team!
