EVERYDAY LOANS APPOINTS FIRST HR DIRECTOR TO THE BOARD
Everyday Loans has appointed HR Director Mareena Flint to the board. It is the first time that the company - and parent NSF Group – have had human resources representation at an executive level, recognising the importance of the function within the organisation.
FCA-approved, Mareena joins the executive
team of the UK’s largest non-standard branch-based lender of unsecured loans two
and a half years after joining the company. During this time, as Head of HR, she
has played an intrinsic role in the company’s strategic growth when employee
numbers increased from 260 to over 600 and the branch network grew from 36 to 72
– supporting a customer base of more than 66,000.
To support such rapid expansion, Mareena
designed and implemented an employee engagement strategy to underpin the
company’s ambitious business plan. This ensured commercial objectives could be
delivered by attracting, retaining and nurturing the best talent.
Steven White, Everyday Loans CEO, said: “I am delighted to welcome
Mareena to the board. She’s a tremendously talented,
strategic-thinking and commercially aware HR professional with a proven track
record of creating, leading and developing people to deliver outstanding
performance.
“She’s already played such an important role in terms of driving
employee engagement and company growth by ensuring that the right people are in
post now and in the future.
“She brings proven skills,
experience and insights to the board within a company where people are at the
heart of the business. I have no doubt that she’ll be a huge asset to our
executive team.”
Mareena added: "I’m extremely proud to have been
appointed to the board of Everyday Loans and, with a new CEO in post, it’s an
exciting time as we enter our next phase of growth and organisational
development.
“I’m very much looking forward to continuing
to develop and implement our people plan, as well as continuing our commitment
to the Women in Finance pledge. We’ve already exceeded our pledge to close the
gap within the upper quartile band by 5%. At least 40% of women within our
organisation are in mid-tier or executive roles and I will continue to champion
women in leadership.”
