NAVA FINANCE LIMITED APPOINTS WHEALE THOMAS HODGINS PLC AS EXECUTIVE SEARCH PARTNER
London, 1st December: Nava Finance Limited, which is set to launch a new consumer lending platform in early 2017, has appointed recruitment consultancy Wheale Thomas Hodgins Plc to manage its executive search.

Abhai Rajguru, co-founder and CFO of Nava Finance Limited, said: “It is vital that any organisation we partner with understands the complexities of our business and the sector we operate in. With this in mind, we took careful consideration to find a partner that we knew would be able to source a senior team who have established blue chip experience complemented with working for innovative brands, to help successfully grow our business. Wheale Thomas Hodgins demonstrated all the necessary skills and experience and we are are delighted to be working with them.”
