Radcliffe said: “I’m excited to be given the opportunity to join the Board of the combined group following the completion of GBT’s acquisition of HRG and to work with the best talent and technology from both organisations.
“The transaction will create a truly world-class company capable of delivering significant benefits to clients, colleagues and suppliers.”
