“At Nous Group, we are committed to helping our clients and our people achieve a bigger idea of success,” commented managing principal and CEO Tim Orton. “For our people, that means providing them with the opportunity and support to grow at a pace that enables them to realise their personal and professional aspirations.”

“We congratulate all our newly promoted Nousers on their career progression and look forward to supporting their ambitions in 2023,” Orton continued.
