Assent Makes the First of Three Senior Appointments

30th July 2024

As Assent Group continue to strive to be an Employer of Choice, we are delighted to announce the first of three significant appointments to the leadership team.

Ben Michael joins the business on 12^th August as our new Project Delivery & Change Management Director and forming part of the Exec Management Team, will oversee and drive the strategic direction of multiple projects. Ben has a wealth of experience in general management including operations, commercial, people management and is also a qualified NLP coach so he brings expertise that will be utilised across the whole Group.

We asked Ben to tell us what interested him about the business and why he chose to join us.  Here’s what he had to say:

“I have been aware of Assent for many years and admired the organisation for always thinking ahead and making the most of its talent and knowledgebase while always striving to do things in the right way.  This is the kind of strategic role I’ve been trying to find for a long time, they don’t come along often, so not only is it the perfect career opportunity for me, the Group core values align perfectly with my own so this role feels very much like a win-win.  I am very much looking forward to joining the Assent family, converting ideas into tangible results that everyone will benefit from and of course being a part of its very bright future ahead”.

Here’s what Iain Thomson, Group CEO had to say about Ben’s appointment:

We are thrilled to welcome Ben to the Assent family,” said Iain Thomson, CEO of Assent Group. “Ben’s impressive track record and strategic vision will be instrumental in enhancing our project delivery capabilities and fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. We are confident that Ben will play a pivotal role in driving our future success and achieving our long-term strategic goals.”

Welcome Ben!
