JC Payne (UK) Ltd and Otis Vehicle Rentals Ltd have announced the appointment of Stephen Horrocks as group finance director.

Steve takes control and responsibility for all financial aspects of the businesses to support the delivery of the companies’ ambitious growth plans, along with providing strategic support and input to the Board.

Steve started his career at Clement Keys and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2007. “I am very excited to have started my new role,” he said. “Having known the businesses for some time and watched the group more than double its revenue in the last six years alone, I know I am joining at an exciting time and look forward to working with the whole team to help the business continue its growth moving forward.”

This senior appointment means that David Scorer, who recently celebrated his 15-year anniversary working for the group, will be able to fully concentrate on his role as group operations director, having been promoted in January 2018 from his prior position of financial controller.
