New Group HR Director appointed at JT

Tuesday 30 January 2018

JT has appointed Jo Waring-Hockley as Human Resources Director.

In her new role at JT, Ms Waring-Hockley will work alongside the executive team on strategic planning, and serve as a link between the company’s management and its 600+ employees.

JT Chief Executive Officer Graeme Millar said: “I am delighted to welcome someone of Jo’s calibre to JT. Her broad experience across a variety of sectors, countries and different business types makes her a perfect fit for the Group, which is expanding internationally so revenues can be reinvested into our Channel Island networks. With a strong track record of developing HR strategies to deliver commercial solutions to support business imperatives, growth and change, Jo will be a huge asset to the whole JT family.

“Being there for our customers and putting their needs first is at the heart of what we do, and Jo will play a key role in helping us maintain that promise to our customers.”

Ms Waring-Hockley said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining JT, as the company expands its fibre network across the Channel Islands and invests in future technology, such as the Internet of Things. This role gives me the opportunity to develop my own skills in a forward-thinking environment, where I can use my experience, leadership skills and industry knowledge to enhance existing staff programmes and introduce new ones.

“Although JT is at the cutting edge of technological developments, its future will ultimately be built on the quality of its people and the experience they give customers, and I’m looking forward to playing my part in developing JT’s essential human capital.”
