Movera has announced two important appointments aimed at supporting the company’s expansion and technological advancement in its latest phase.
As part of this strategic move, Lisa Daniels has been appointed as the Head of Marketing and Communication, while Claire Smith has taken on the role of Chief People Officer, leading a newly formed team responsible for people and culture.
These appointments hold significance for Movera, previously operating under the name ONP Group. The company’s portfolio includes brands such as ONP Solicitors, Cavendish Legal Group (CLG), Grindeys Conveyancing, LMS, Conveyancing Alliance (CAL), Broker Conveyancing, and Lavatech, the creator of inCase. Speaking on both appointments Nick Hale, CEO of Movera, commented:
“It is a landmark moment for Movera as we continue to innovate the home moving business. Claire and Lisa will bring a wealth of experience to our culture and brand, as we steer the Movera platform towards its next period of growth.
With their expertise, and the brilliant people in our brands, we are on a mission fuelled by a promise to help our customers move with confidence.”
Lisa Daniels, who joined Movera in September, brings extensive experience to her role, having spent two decades in various leadership positions. Her previous work with global brands like BT, Sky, Ericsson, and Vodafone involved leading go-to-market strategies for new products and services across different sectors. Notably, Lisa has previously collaborated with Movera’s CEO, Nick Hale, during their time at BT, adding a layer of familiarity to the leadership team. Lisa Daniels commented:
“Movera is here to do things differently, shake up the industry, and innovate the house moving process. We want people to look back in years to come, and recognise that Movera brought together a platform that changed the dynamic of our industry.
Movera is committed to putting people, partners, and customers at the heart of its proposition and investments. That is precisely why I’ve joined this brilliant team.”
Claire Smith’s career began as a Personal Injury Solicitor before transitioning into a non-fee earning business development role as a partner at Pannone LLP. With over fifteen years of experience in the Legal sector, Claire has also held senior roles at QualitySolicitors and Moneypenny. Claire Smith added:
“We want Movera to be the employer of choice in our sector. Our newly formed people and culture team has a huge ambition to develop the very best employee value proposition for our 600 brilliant people. Having a celebrated company culture is key to attracting brilliant people, and brilliant people are the essence of the Movera brand.
The opportunity to return to the legal industry, to develop an employee value proposition for Movera is an amazing opportunity.”
