Prior to his role at Group, Mills was Managing Director for Compass Group UK & Ireland’s education business Chartwells, and previously held the role of HR Director for the UK & Ireland. Mills will report into Dominic Blakemore, Group Chief Executive.
Blakemore said, “I’d like to thank Chris for the contribution he’s made to our business in the UK & Ireland over the last ten years. I’m delighted that Robin will be returning to the UK business to lead the UK & Ireland team on its growth journey.”
