CTN chain Mills Group has enlisted Arcadia Group's regional training manager Fiona Green as training director to sharpen its training function.
Based at Mills' HQ in Whitley Bay, Green will be responsible for identifying training needs for all employees and designing and sourcing training solutions.
She will also manage the implementation and renewal of existing training programmes.

Green said: "I am delighted to be given the opportunity to work with the Mills Group and I am certain that my previous experience will complement the existing team at head office."
