Moneypenny Group CEO, Joanna Swash, joins Business Council

This week Boris Johnson announced the launch of a new Business Council, with a mission to boost jobs, unlock investment, accelerate net-zero ambitions, and promote Global Britain.

The new Council, co-chaired by the Chancellor, will convene a new cohort of business leaders to work in partnership with the Government, helping to drive a high productivity, high growth economy over the next 12 months and level up local economies around the country.

We’re delighted that ECI portfolio company CEO, Joanna Swash, will be joining the Council. Joanna, who is Group CEO at Moneypenny, will be joined by other UK business leaders from a range of industries and sectors, including manufacturing, financial services, energy, and world-renowned science and technology sectors and including household names of Microsoft, Rolls Royce, Starling Bank and Octopus Energy. 

Moneypenny has grown to become the leading outsourced communications company, handling annually over 20 million calls, live chats, and online communications for clients globally. Joanna passionately believes that this business success has been down to not only the ability to constantly adapt and innovate, but also due to the amazing teamwork, and the happiness and wellbeing of all the employees at Moneypenny and that this unique culture has allowed the company to thrive.

It is this experience that Joanna will bring to the Business Council which aims to build on the successes of last year’s Build Back Better Business Council, retaining and implementing the three core pillars of the Plan for Growth framework – infrastructure, innovation, and skills – against which Council members will continue to translate goals into measurable action.
