The Embark Group (‘Embark’) today announces the appointment of Nicola Megaw to its executive team to head up its investor relations activities and assume the role of Group General Counsel, including full responsibility for our Corporate Secretariat.

Nicola has 15 years’ experience leading and delivering in corporate governance and on legal matters, particularly within financial services. She is also a fully qualified solicitor.
