Sarah Frost to lead people operations at Entec Si

Entec Si has promoted Sarah Frost to Head of People Operations. The role comes with a seat on the strategic leadership board, to support the development of the business's unique person-centred ethos.

Founded in 1996, Entec Si has particular expertise in the local government, healthcare, not for profit, transport and aviation sectors. The Birmingham-based advisory brand has also fostered a commitment to employee development over the course of its 26 years in business, and its latest appointment continues that tradition.

Sarah Frost joined Entec Si in 2020, and in the two years since, she has taken responsibility for the firm’s people strategy. This has included developing plans for talent acquisition, resourcing and commission coordination, people and career development, and culture and wellbeing.

As Entec Si looks to reward her hard work, Frost becomes the Head of People Operations at the firm. The key leadership role will see her provide strategic advice directly to the company’s board on matters impacting its people, while ensuring that its consultant portfolio is the right shape as the company expands – and working to help the workforce be properly represented in decisions.

Eman Al-Hillawi, CEO at Entec Si, said, “Sarah has proven to be an invaluable asset to not only the team, but also to the future development of Entec Si. Her passion for supporting her colleagues has not gone unnoticed and she will be a key driver in our mission of instilling ‘change for good’ in everything we do. I can already see Sarah embracing her new role and we will continue to offer our undivided support on her personal development journey.”

Prior to joining Entec Si, Frost obtained a diverse background in people management. This included beginning her career at the NEC, spending six years supporting key recruitment and distribution activities for live events staff, while honing her problem-solving and people management skills. As she continues to develop her skills with Entec Si, she is also working toward her CIPD level 5 diploma in People Management.  

Frost noted, “Working for a company like Entec Si, which places people front and centre of its business, has already been extremely rewarding for me and I’m delighted to take on this new role. The company is supporting me to develop my career and achieve new qualifications, while taking an active role in shaping how our people continue their journey with the company too. Having a seat on the strategic leadership board helps to ensure every aspect of the business is well-represented when making big decisions. I’m looking forward to supporting Entec Si and our team in our next development phase.”
