Key new appointments drive innovation & social impact at national construction framework provider
LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) has strengthened its team by making two senior hires across the business.
Vimala Jayaraman and Nicola Lewis have been appointed as LHCPG’s new Group Chief Financial Officer and Head of Marketing and communications respectively.
Both have been welcomed as part of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, socially impactful solutions to its clients across the UK.
As LHCPG’s new Group Chief Financial Officer, Vimala Jayaraman is tasked with developing, in close conjunction with Group CEO Clive Feeney, a robust financial strategy that delivers innovation but minimises risk.
Vimala’s career spans high-profile roles in the public and private sectors across global organisations. Vimala is experienced in aligning financial strategies with corporate objectives to drive sustainable growth.
She holds an MBA in Finance Strategies and Strategic Use of Information Systems and has vast experience working for charities and not-for-profit organisations. Vimala also currently serves on the Board of Directors for The BCI and Age UK York.
Vimala said: “LHCPG’s commitment to social value aligns perfectly with my passion to serve a greater purpose beyond individual interests.
“I am excited to embark on this journey, confident that our combined efforts, dedication, and shared purpose will enable us to make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.”
Nicola Lewis joins LHCPG as an experienced strategic marketing and communications professional with a background in the construction, housing and not-for-profit sectors.
Having worked most recently for one of the UK’s leading social housing providers, Nicola is well placed to use her industry knowledge to drive LHCPG’s brand and marketing strategy.
“By focusing on social value, sustainability, and collaboration, we are ensuring our frameworks and services not only address current challenges but also pave the way for long-term positive change,” said Nicola.
“It’s an exciting time to be part of this journey as we strengthen our role as a trusted partner in the sector, and I am keen to talk to any potential strategic partners operating in the retrofit and social value sectors.”
LHCPG, which achieved Gold Standard verification in the autumn, is set to launch several new frameworks this year including its latest energy efficiency framework, Retrofit and Decarbonisation (N9).
Group CEO Clive Feeney said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Vimala and Nicola to the team.
We are very lucky to have access to such a vast array of experience that spans across the UK and beyond, and I’m confident they’ll make invaluable contributions to the future of our organisation.”
