Salford Quays-based chewable vitamin brand Yumi has announced the appointment of Sam Gill as managing director.

BDO

Laurence Simms of BDO

Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has added to its employment tax team with the appointment of Laurence Simms as director.

At BDO, Mr Simms will be responsible for supporting clients across the North region to help them effectively manage their HMRC compliance requirements when employing and engaging a workforce. He joins from PwC.

Mr Simms said: “As HMRC rightly focuses its efforts on workers’ statutory pay entitlement reviews, including NMW, holiday pay, and sickness pay, my time and attention will be spent on ensuring our clients do not fall foul of these confusing and often contradictory pay governance regulations.

“The continued push for a more flexible/agile workforce brings with it a demand for real-time compensation, which will require employers to pay their workforce more frequently.

“Unfortunately, by satisfying their employees, companies will be putting greater strain on their payroll systems and payroll teams who are the last defence in ensuring they are a HMRC compliant taxpayer.”

Slater Heelis

The corporate team at Slater Heelis

Law firm Slater Heelis has promoted Rhian Owen to head of corporate commercial in Manchester.

Simon Wallwork, the previous head of the department, will continue to focus on client work.

Rhian Owen said: “My plan for the new-look Corporate Commercial team at Slater Heelis is to set ourselves ambitious growth targets for 2023, not least with life sciences clients.

“We are equally at home working in academia and big pharma, and we know the legislative landscape and nuances of such markets inside and out.”

Vita Group

Cheshire-based property company Vita Group has appointed Chris Jones as group energy manager.

Mr Jones joins the business with over 14 years’ experience in the sector, working for McColl’s, Selfridges and Johnson Controls operations and engineering teams.

He said: “Vita Group has established its reputation as an urban regeneration specialist, creating thriving communities.

“As the business continues to scale with developments in the UK and abroad, it is important to find ways to reduce our consumption and reduce our impact with greener energy, helping to create more sustainable communities.”

CBRE

CBRE has appointed Joe Rigby as head of office agency for the northern region in Manchester.

Mr Rigby has been with CBRE since 2014 and took over as the northern region’s head of occupier services in 2019.

Mr Rigby said: “To be taking the helm of the northern Office Agency team is incredibly exciting and I am looking forward to working across our whole client portfolio to bring strategic advice and vision to projects and organisations.”

River Capital

Liverpool-based River Capital has hired Martin Sutton as a venture partner.

He joins having spent the previous six years at Manchester-based AI business PEAK.

Mr Sutton said: “This is a dream role for me at River Capital as I’m passionate about helping early-stage AI and data focussed businesses to achieve their full potential.

“Coupled with the fact that fund: AI has a laser focus on Northern businesses made this a no brainer for me, as I’ve always believed we have amazing tech firms in the North but they are sometimes overlooked and underserved compared to their London peers.”
