Huboo - one of fastest growing global fulfilment technology providers - has boosted its Senior Management Team with the appointment of Gareth New as Chief People Officer. New will deliver organisational change and developmental activities to enrich the team and culture of the rapidly expanding business.

Gareth New brings 15 years of experience working in people, culture and leadership industry positions. His previous roles at energy firms SSE (now OVO) and Ecotricity saw him enrich the cultures of these FTSE-100 companies - something he is looking forward to developing in his new post at Huboo as it undergoes further global expansion.

Huboo is set to move into a host of key territories in 2022, capitalising on recent milestone growth across the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and the UK. The company has secured over £100m of investment since its launch in 2017 and increased its headcount by 341 employees in just 12 months.

Gareth New said of his appointment:

“I’m really excited to have joined Huboo’s C-Suite during this period of pivotal growth. As a business that’s expanding worldwide, it goes without saying that creating and maintaining an exceptional culture whilst scaling is key to support the wider business’ aims. It’s a fast-paced and meaty role at an outstanding company, so I couldn’t have asked for more and look forward to being part of this award-winning team.”

Martin Bysh, CEO of Huboo, said:

“Welcoming Gareth onto the C-Suite as Chief People Officer has come at the perfect time for Huboo. We’re growing at a vast pace and need the best people to join us who match our ambitions and that bring a variety of skills to meet the wealth of opportunities we have on offer. Protecting and nurturing Huboo’s culture as we grow is vital too - we have every confidence that Gareth is the right person to help us achieve this.”
