Becky Mumford joins Stellarmann as people manager

Technology and business transformation delivery partner, Stellarmann, has appointed Becky Mumford as people manager to support  its ambitious plans for growth.

Founded in 2020, the recently rebranded Stellarmann helps deliver transformation projects in the insurance and financial services sectors – as well as working on multi-million-pound government initiatives. Growing demand for these services has allowed it to build a team of 30 operational staff and more than 150 associates across the UK.

As the firm prepares for a busy 2024, Stellarmann has embarked on a series of key hires. Earlier in the autumn, this saw Susie Lee Kilgariff join as head of marketing.

Now, London and Brighton-based company has followed that up with the appointment of its first ever ‘people manager’. Looking ahead, Becky Mumford will oversee group HR strategy and operations, including recruitment, workforce planning, training and development, employee engagement and retention, diversity and inclusion, and compensation and benefits. Her role also encompasses Stellarmann’s award-winning sister company, William Alexander Recruitment.

“As Stellarmann’s first people manager this is a terrific opportunity for me to mould a full 360 degree role which I can develop and shape as the business grows”, Mumford commented. “My overarching focus will be building the employer brand, to demonstrate why we are such an inclusive, fun organisation to work for. Part of that will be digging into the employee experience – making sure our team is as happy and successful as they can be from the moment they join throughout their journey with us.”

This will be crucial as Stellarmann looks to meet growing demand across the UK. The firm expects its turnover to increase to £50 million over the next three years, a target which will also necessitate the doubling of its associates network to 300.

“Becky joins us at a crucial time as we build the team and push ahead with our growth strategy,” added Will Larcombe, director and co-founder of Stellarmann. “Attracting and retaining great people is crucial to this and we are committed to providing an energetic, rewarding and ambitious workplace. Becky will be integral to making that happen”.
