Moorhouse Consulting has
made a new appointment
to its leadership team,
with the promotion of
Carrie Oliver from
principal to director.
Ex-Big Five consultant
Oliver, who has 12

| | and the US, has
impressed both customers
and colleagues alike
since joining the firm
last July.
Managing director Dom

the moment Carrie came
on board, she quickly
impressed with her
innovative ideas for the
business and she wasted
no time in winning new | |

"Carrie has proved to
be the consummate
