Consult Red has announced the appointment of David Webster as its Chief Financial Officer.
Webster will sit on Consult Red’s Board and join its Executive Leadership Team as the company enjoys new growth, propelled by demand for consultancy and engineering services in embedded systems, connectivity and embedded AI applications.
This strategic addition to the leadership team reflects Consult Red’s commitment to continued growth and financial excellence, building on the great work of outgoing CFO, Paul Stevenson.
Stuart Griffin, CEO, said: “On behalf of myself and the Board, we welcome David to the Consult Red team. His understanding of the employee ownership journey and multi-sector experience make him the ideal choice to guide our financial strategy.”
David Webster, Chief Financial Officer, added: “There were clear synergies from my previous experience given the business is Employee Owned, and the culture shone through right from my first meeting.”
Webster is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and brings a wealth of experience in Finance, Operations and Strategy. Before joining Consult Red, he served as Finance Director at Horizon Platforms where he played a pivotal role in supporting the business growing from £13m to £22m turnover and being heavily involved in the transition to Employee Ownership. David also holds Non-Executive Director roles at the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and the Mast Academy Trust.
