Jill Whittaker, Managing Director of HIT Training Ltd. comments,
“HIT is not a skills company that stands still. In March, the majority of our shares will be transferred into an Employee Ownership Trust, allowing our employees to have a significant and meaningful stake in the business. To support our future growth, we have made these four new appointments to bring new skills to the board. The diverse experience and innovative approach they bring is a great match for our growth ambitions, and I very much look forward to working closely with them in the future.”
