Briars Group has been operating for 30 years and has helped over 3000 companies expand their footprint into 150 different countries.
Helen Grey, Phill Anderson and Stefan Dunn have been added to the team, each bringing with them extensive industry experience.
Helen Grey joins as Global Sales Director with 20 years of experience in the software and services industry. She previously led Sage’s Field Sales Accounting Division and has since developed global expansion solutions in accounting, payroll, and HR services.
Phill Anderson joins as Briars Group’s Global HR Director, specialising in human capital planning strategies and equipping businesses for large scale growth. He has successfully led HR initiatives through multiple mergers and acquisitions in both the UK and internationally and has played a key role in private equity ownership transitions and exits.
Stefan Dunn has become the company’s Global Transformation Director and will be responsible for helping organisations unlock value, future-proof operations, and accelerate growth. He has over 18 years of experience in outsourced professional services and expertise in driving global expansion through technology, automation, and innovation.
The new appointments join a board already consisting of three decades of global expansion experience, with Chief Financial Officer Gemma Bignell and Client Solutions Director Emma Lisauskas having been part of Briars Group for 30 years between them.
Andrew Fahey, CEO at Briars Group said: “We are thrilled that Helen, Phill and Stefan have joined the team, and they each add vital experience to the business at board level.
“The expertise that these appointments bring to the team across HR, accountancy and outsourced professional services will prove invaluable and gives us a board that can not only drive customer experience, product development and growth but one which is accustomed to M&A and investor cycles. This puts us in a great position to take the company forward.”
The appointments come as Briars Group looks to press ahead with exciting expansion plans in 2025, with regional hubs set to be established around the UK alongside ambitions to bolster the company’s presence in North America, Europe and Asia.
With 67% of the board being newly appointed, including four directors who have held global roles, led EMEA operations, and worked for blue-chip global brands, Briars is leveraging world-class leadership to accelerate global expansion and enhance its renowned fanatical level of service delivery, which the company considers to be its USP.
Andrew added: “We have built up a strong reputation for helping businesses expand over the last 30 years and now feel the time is right to grow our presence globally.
“The new appointments are a vital part of our goal to become undeniably the number one provider of international business expansion services and I am excited to see the effect they will have on our operations in the months ahead. This will undoubtedly drive forward our clients' experience, which remains our top priority.”
