Angela Luger, the former boss of Debenhams and N Brown, has joined fast-growing Manchester tech business, Hiring Hub, as a non-executive director.
Angela née Spindler, left N Brown last September after five years at the helm as CEO.
She spearheaded the business’s transition from a catalogue-focused business into an online retailer.
Prior to that she has held positions at Debenhams, Asda, and Mars. She is also a non-executive director at Portmeirion, ScS Group, and the Madrid-based DIA group.
Angela joins PurpleBricks marketing director, James Kydd, and ex-MD of Lorien, Ian Brookes, on the board of Hiring Hub.
She said: “Hiring Hub is an ambitious company and I’m joining at an exciting time.
“It’s going after a huge market opportunity; using technology to consolidate and organise 1000s of specialist recruitment agencies with the goal of helping employers source better candidates, faster.
“Companies have long struggled to find the talent they need to keep pace with growth, particularly for experienced hires,” continued Luger.
“Hiring Hub opens up a fresh channel for employers to acquire candidates through independent recruitment agencies, which is proving very effective.”
Hiring Hub, the online recruitment marketplace used by over 500 employers, pairs up employers with specialist recruitment agencies to fill jobs.
The company recently raised £2m of investment from Maven Capital Partners, VentureFounders, and Manchester Tech Trust Angels, helping it grow subscription incomes 181 per cent year-on-year.
Simon Swan, founder & CEO of Hiring Hub, said: “Angela is a seasoned executive with real energy. She brings a wealth of leadership and commercial experience with her to Hiring Hub, and we’re delighted to welcome her to the board.”
