Pivotal Appointment to The Next Step’s Advisory Board

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Julie Honore to our advisory board.

 

Julie is highly experienced in working with boards and executives and is known for her strategic insights, passion for business excellence and lateral thinking. She brings deep domain expertise from a range of professional services, management consulting and business advisory roles. Following a successful consulting career, she founded, grew and divested three specialist search firms before working in the board space.

 

"We are excited to be partnering with Julie” said The Next Step’s CEO Aaron Neilson. “Her integrity, fresh thinking, and commitment to excellence further strengthens our leadership team. We look forward to leveraging Julie's invaluable experience and insights, as we continue to grow the business and make great things happen in the world of work.”

 

In addition to her highly relevant experience within the Human Resources and Health and Safety professions, Julie has more recently been involved in various board positions and coaching roles, reflecting her commitment to making a meaningful impact at executive and board levels. She will act in an advisory capacity for both The Next Step and our sibling brand, Health and Safety search specialists, The Safe Step (both owned by The Next Group). Her appointment to The Next Group's advisory board is a testament to her confidence in the future and standing of the Group.

 

Julie said she is looking forward to contributing to the strategic initiatives and success of The Next Step and The Safe Step. "I am energised and committed to the opportunity to contribute to the future direction of a dynamic organisation that has a 20 plus year history of offering highly respected professional services. “What can be more rewarding than working with a business that helps people find their people," she said.
