Norwich Union has appointed a new director of property and facilities. Mark Hughes, 46, has joined Norwich Union Central Services (NUCS) from Amey-Lex Consortium, where he worked as a senior consultant on Private Finance Initiatives.
Having originally studied and obtained a first in civil engineering, Hughes began a career with the Army as a Royal Engineer officer, fulfilling a succession of command and staff jobs across four continents. He was awarded the OBE for his work in Bosnia in 1997.
Hughes, who will be based in Norwich, will be responsible for the management of property and facilities at all Norwich Union locations in the UK, including York, Perth and London.
Commenting on his appointment, Hughes said: “Providing the infrastructure required to enable an organisation the size of Norwich Union to meet its objectives is a marvellous challenge - and one to which I am particularly looking forward.
“The decision to create a centralised service model provides an ideal opportunity to use the skills and talents of both our own people and contractors, to ensure that we are the ‘partner of choice’ for Norwich Union’s business units.”
Hughes, who is married with three daughters, recently moved to North Norfolk. In his spare time, he enjoys gardening, reading and creating the family’s new home.
