Oddfellows, one of the largest and oldest friendly societies in the UK, has made a series of senior appointments.
This includes a new Head of Marketing Communications, Jayne Holgate, who joins from the NHS. Holgate has also been Marketing Manager at Nottingham Trent and Comms Manager at East Midlands Academic Health Science Network.
She joins the Manchester-based not-for-profit society as it seeks to “strengthen its commitment to improving the quality of life for communities nationwide.”
“This is an extremely exciting time for our organisation. Our new appointments give us a renewed vigour to continue at pace on our mission to improve the quality of life of our 388,000 members and policy holders and make a difference within our wider communities,” explained Oddfellows CEO Jane Nelson.
“The combined experience and expertise we’ve brought into the organisation marks a step forward and will help to further galvanise the hard work of our Branch network and member volunteers. Hearing our new colleagues’ collective passion for making a difference to our members and wider society through our services rings true with our organisational values, and I look forward to seeing the new heights we can achieve together.”
The other senior hires include new Finance Director, Keith Ashcroft and the promotion of Sarah Hopwood to Head of Branch Development.
