LHC Procurement Group (LHC) has hired Jennifer Castle as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO) to drive growth and become a ‘Gold standard’ construction framework provider to the public sector
Jennifer Castle has over six years of experience at LHC and a track record of success in driving growth for the Group’s LSE (London and South East) regional business unit.
Her approach to framework development, notably the successful Architectural Design Services (ADS1.1) with a focus on equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), resulted in LSE winning the GO Award.
In May 2022, Jennifer was appointed to the LHC board, playing a key role in guiding the organisation’s successful transition from a joint committee structure to a company limited by guarantee (CLG) on 1 April 2023.
Delivering measurable social value to the UK’s communities
Her appointment as COO is the next step for LHC to deliver measurable social value to communities across Great Britain through its procurement solutions.
This includes driving increased employment and economic uplift, and supporting local projects through its community benefit fund.
Jennifer Castle, LHC’s new chief operating officer, said: “I am thrilled by the opportunity the Chief Operating Officer role presents to play a significant role in shaping the future direction of LHC Procurement Group.
“In my six years with the organisation so far, I’ve continued to be inspired by the positive impact our frameworks have made in communities. I look forward to continuing to drive innovation and excellence in public sector procurement to ensure our clients and suppliers receive the highest level of service.”
