Independent appoints Peter Twemlow as Managing
Director of HR consultancy division

Experienced global HR Director, Peter Twemlow, has joined Independent as
Managing Director of its HR consultancy division. Peter will be working with
Director Harry Dunlevy to drive growth in this area of the business and
continue building Independent’s burgeoning Executive Search function.

With 25 years’ business and HR experience, Peter’s previous role was Global
Vice President Human Resources at Johnson Controls Automotive, a $21bn
global company. As a member of the Global Leadership team, his remit
included organisational design & development, new business acquisition
and integration, restructuring and cost optimisation.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Independent at a time of growth, when organisations
are crying out for integrated, in-depth support while retaining flexibility and
cost control,” commented Peter. “Moving from a global business to a smaller,
more agile one will be quite a contrast but the range of services, talents of the
team and scope for development at Independent makes the future an
exciting prospect.”

“Getting Peter on board represents a significant step in our growth story,”
added Harry Dunlevy. “The breadth of his experience will be invaluable in
building our consultancy and search operation and in managing high profile
clients like Kiddicare.com.”
