Recruitment specialist MorePeople has announced that Janet Lee has joined the company as an associate director.

Lee is joining MorePeople to head up its UK retail sector recruitment solutions drawing from experience and expertise from a career that spans over 20 years in retail, the last 18 with Tesco PLC.

For the last 13 years her career has been focused on marketing and has worked on the launch of the Tesco Finest sub brand, marketing the roll out of Tesco Direct and the management, and development, of the Tesco.com website.

In a statement, the company said: “Guy Moreton and Ian Merton will continue to work alongside Janet on selected projects with our existing retail clients. However, we recognise that this is a specialist area and Janet’s appointment now provides a clear focal point within MorePeople for our retail clients and ensures that we have the capacity to tailor our recruitment services to meet the specific needs of this key sector.

“Utilising her extensive retail and marketing expertise Janet will also be helping the MorePerformance team to develop further the innovative range of training and development programmes that we offer to all our clients.

“This appointment continues to demonstrate MorePeople’s commitment to developing a class leading People Solutions business and maintains our company ethos of only recruiting team members with practical hands on experience that is directly relevant to the areas that they operate in.”
