Paul brings fresh energy and vision to FoxPlan in his new role as CEO. I am very pleased to know the company I founded will continue to thrive under his leadership” said FoxPlan founder and former chair John Killick.

FoxPlan board chair Heather Roy said the board was delighted to appoint Barnes.

“His experience within the firm, and dedication, means that he is the right person to lead FoxPlan through its transitionary period and to achieve the growth targets we have set,” she said.

“The board and I would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to John Killick for his work."
