CMP Resolutions is preparing itself for the next stage of its development as the UK’s leading consultancy in the field of workplace conflict resolution.

Katherine Graham, who joined the business in 1992 and became Managing Director in 2009, is handing over the baton to Arran Heal, an experienced executive who has worked in senior positions within the FMCG sector as well as taking his own SME from concept through to sale.

I’m so proud of what CMP has achieved under my leadership – we’ve made a real difference to individuals, teams and whole organisations, through our services and training. And there is much more that we can offer today’s employers, in building their people’s skills so that conflict doesn’t get in the way of productivity.  So now it’s time for me to hand over the reins to someone who I believe can take CMP to the next stage in its development.  There are so many opportunities for the company and I know that Arran has the vision and the drive to apply CMP’s considerable expertise and experience to new and exciting areas of work, and into new business sectors.

Arran joins CMP Resolutions as Managing Director in September, and will work alongside Katherine until she takes up her new role as Chair in December 2016.

I am excited about the potential at the company. Not only does it have a strong and loyal client base, but the expertise in CMP’s people means we have a great platform to build on. So I am up for the challenge of developing CMP Resolutions and I look forward to meeting with our clients and practitioners to develop an exciting and collaborative growth strategy.
