The appointment takes effect on 1 January 2015, subject to regulatory approval.

Darren Cornish, 44, joins Share from E.ON UK plc, part of the global E.ON SE energy group with UK sales of over £5bn, where he worked for four years, latterly as UK Head of Residential Operations and In-House Sales. At E.ON, Darren was responsible for servicing the company's 5.2 million UK customers.

Before joining E.ON, Darren worked for Aviva plc, the multinational insurer, for 16 years, ultimately assuming the position of Director of Customer Experience.

As a Director of The Share Centre Limited, Darren will be a key member of the senior management team within the Group. He will assume responsibility for the principal customer-facing teams and services. The Share Centre has a well-established record of award-winning customer service, most recently winning the Online Personal Wealth Award 2014 for 'Best Customer Service'.

Richard Stone, Chief Executive, said,

"I am very pleased to welcome Darren to the team at The Share Centre and to be working with him to further grow the business. Darren's achievements at E.ON and Aviva, and his experience of high volume retail customer bases in regulated markets, clearly equip him very well for the role here.

We strive to put the customer at the forefront of what we do and have built a reputation for outstanding customer service, with The Share Centre winning many awards for this over recent years.

Our strategy for growth has "putting customers first" at its core and we believe that delivering an exceptional customer experience underpins our existing loyal customer base and will help to support further growth."
