Nick Howes (pictured) has been made managing director of the people development organisation.
He joined LMI-UK in 2009 as a franchise director, running a successful franchise first in the Midlands and then in the south east.
Nick now assumes control of national operations, taking over from outgoing managing director Ray King, who has run the business for more than 20 years.
“Ray built the business from scratch and leaves on a high, following a great team performance in 2018 that saw programme sales up 28 per cent over the previous year,” Nick says.
“Ray leaves the business in rude health, at a time when demand is increasing for LMI programmes as more businesses in the UK seek greater effectivity and productivity from their people to meet the challenges of the current commercial environment.
“I hope to bring a renewed focus to the business and the support we offer for those organisations seeking to nurture the talent within and develop the next generation of leaders.”
Ray King says Nick is the perfect choice to succeed him, adding: “He is a product of our products and real belief in the benefits of what we offer flows through his veins.
“He understands the market and the drive for digital, but retains the desire to connect with people on a personal level and help them achieve their full potential, whether that’s as a franchise director or a programme participant.
“I’m confident Nick will take LMI-UK to the next level with the support of a growing team of franchise directors.”
