New World Trading Company has appointed its first financial director.
Richard Barley is to join the pub company from Lloyds Development Capital. He was involved in the securing of a new bank facility last year, which has allowed the company to grow from four sites at that point to its current eight.
Until now NWTC has shared financial oversight with parent company Living Ventures.
Barley has spent 12 years at Lloyds and previously worked at PwC.
NWTC has several projects in the pipeline with new openings planned in Glasgow, Liverpool and Marlow before the end of the year.
