848 Group, one of the midland’s leading IT providers has appointed a new Head of Project Management Office (PMO) to enhance the existing strategic relationship between the business and sales. Justine Slade joins 848 with over 10 years’ experience in the IT industry and has worked with clients across many sectors including telecoms, retail, financial services, legal, engineering, manufacturing and automotive. Heading up the PMO which Justine describes as “a company’s command centre for projects” means she will be focussing on project portfolio management at a strategic level. She said: “I’m looking forward to managing cross functional resource planning and project portfolio management as well as enhancing 848’s strategic relationship between Sales and PMO.” 

Justine’s impressive portfolio includes successfully delivering multiple large-scale transformation programmes, including an 18-month warehouse migration programme for a leading Network Provider, and a 24-month implementation project of a new global platform for the EMEA (Europe & Middle East) territories. These projects came with significant budgets that had to be managed tightly through the business and third parties. Co-Founder
