Target Group has announced the appointment of Mark Gilliver as its new business development director.

Gilliver (pictured) previously held senior leadership roles at Xerox, RR Donnelly and Computershare where he was responsible for corporate relationships, managing global accounts, outsourcing and creating mutually beneficial opportunities for clients.

In his new position at the financial services outsourcing and software provider, he will focus on business development, client services and operational transformation.

He said: “Target Group is on the up and a leader when it comes to business process outsourcing in financial services. The fact the firm works for over 50 major financial services institutions around the world providing services across lending, investments and insurance is a major attraction and an important reason why I’m delighted to join the team.

“My new colleagues are focused on creating value for clients through a digital customer journey, outsourcing and operational transformation and that certainly chimes with my own experience. I hope to be able to bring that experience to bear and look forward to playing my own part in enhancing and improving our client offering even further.”

Stuart Anderson, chief commercial officer at Target Group, added: “It’s great to be able to welcome someone of Mark’s experience to the Target Group team. He has a wealth of experience in financial services, outsourcing and business development and so is a perfect fit for us. I’m sure he will play an important part in continuing the Target Group success story as we enter our 40th year in business.”
