HSS Hire appoints Richard Jones as interim CFO

HSS Hire said on Monday that it has appointed Richard Jones as interim chief financial officer.

The company had already announced on 1 May that CFO Paul Quested would be leaving at the end of August.

It said Jones has over 13 years of experience in finance roles in UK public and private companies. He is currently senior independent director and Audit Committee chair of Alliance Pharma and non-executive director of C4X Discovery and was most recently CFO and company secretary of Medica Group.

Prior to Medica, Jones was CFO of Mereo Biopharma and previously CFO and company secretary of Shield Therapeutics.

HSS said he will work closely with Quested over the next few weeks to ensure a smooth handover.
