EDINBURGH-based telecommunications firm Commsworld has announced the appointment of a brand new board member.
Dennise McDonnell, current human resources director, was selected for the role after overseeing the firm through a period of growth since joining two years ago.
In that time, Denise was responsible for helping to expand the workforce which, in turn, led to the securing of several notable contracts.
These include deals with Northumberland County, North Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire councils, as well as high-profile events like COP26, TRNSMT and the 2020 Euros.
She said: “I am very proud to join the Commsworld Board.
“I look forward to adding a unique HR perspective and voice to discussions at Board level, using my skills and experience in HR from not only Commsworld, but a wide cross section of businesses and organisations spanning a diverse range of sectors.
“During my time with the business, Commsworld has been through an amazing transition in both size and shape.
“The company invested in developing its HR function to represent this, improving the overall employee experience – befitting a more mature, growing business.
“Commsworld is now a company with a strong infrastructure of support and delivery functions, and we continue to invest in and develop our people in line with the growth trajectory.
“I look forward to working with the Board to continue to grow on these excellent foundations that have been laid.”
Steve Langmead, Chief Executive of Commsworld, said: “Denise brings with her a wealth of valuable experience and skills to an already very strong Board at Commsworld.
“She has helped to build an excellent HR function from the bones up at the company, and she will add tremendous value in what is a very important period for Commsworld as we continue to grow our operations across the UK.”
