“Positive customer outcomes are absolutely vital and central to everything we do,” Hall said. “With Kelly onboard, I’m confident with her wealth of expertise across strategy, delivery, and insight that we will continue to innovate and adapt our service to meet the multiple and sometimes complex needs of our customers.
“Kelly is joining us at a pivotal time and her proven track record in transformational delivery and experience in helping build a future proofed customer agenda will be key milestones in helping our customers, colleagues and communities prosper.”
Commenting on her appointment, Iles said she was delighted to join OSB Group and could already see a clear strategy and a real desire from colleagues to ensure the best customer outcomes.
“I am incredibly passionate about inspiring others to identify opportunities to improve the overall customer experience, delivering the right improvements that will make a difference to the lives of our customers,” she added. “I’m also eager to harness the shared intent of colleagues around the business as we collectively build and embed a future proofed customer agenda which will positively impact all customers.”
