Marmox Ltd. has strengthened its board by promoting its current finance manager to the newly created post of finance director with immediate effect. The move follows founding family member, Jonathan Parsons, having been appointed as business development director as his parents, Harry and Anne, prepare to take a less active role in running the company. Having been at the company since 2014, Richard Kent-Smith previously worked for a firm of chartered accountants where he was involved for some years in preparing VAT returns and management accounts on behalf of Marmox, before the company created the position of finance manager in order to recruit him as a member of staff: a position where he has successfully applied his people skills as well as his aptitude for numbers. Sarah Viney, managing director commented: “Richard Kent-Smith has been successfully filling the role of Finance Manager since 2014 and has proved himself to be a hard-working and dedicated member of the team, who has helped take the company from strength to strength in recent years. I am absolutely delighted to have Richard as a fellow director. His skills and knowledge have helped us to grow the company over the last few years and it is great to be able to recognise his invaluable contribution by appointing him as a company director.”
