ArrowXL appoints new director to drive staff recruitment and retention

Delivery company ArrowXL has appointed Nicola Waring as director of people services.

Waring joins Wigan-based ArrowXL, which specialises in two-person delivery, from JW Lees Brewery where she was people and logistics director of operations.

She has also held a number of senior HR roles at The Kraft Heinz Company and webuyanycar.com.

ArrowXL said Waring’s brief is to ensure the business “attracts and retains the best people by driving engagement and making colleague development a key priority.”

Waring said: “This is an exciting opportunity for me to join a business that is experiencing strong growth and is keen to ingrain a strong people culture throughout.

“Employee engagement will be a key priority for me as we focus on talent management, succession planning, HR systems, policies and procedures, whilst delivering results with tangible business benefit aligned to the company’s objectives.”

Charlie Shiels, CEO of ArrowXL, said: “As we continue to grow it is vital that we have the right people in place to support the business, our people and our customers.

“Nicola’s first-class HR skills and comprehensive operational understanding means she will be a real asset to the team.”
