Hubbard joined the company this month from caterer Table Talk where he has been working for the last ten years, most recently as operations director.
He said: "My role is to improve quality as the business grows, managing change and utilising my strengths in developing systems, processes and communication structures. My immediate focuses are strengthening our already excellent recruitment division and training. I have begun instigating and evolving internal and external training programmes and vocational courses designed to help to get people into work.
"Equally our training management tools will enable us to manage our clients’ training requirements, ensuring that proactive support is in place, with flexible solutions built on a bespoke basis."
