MacFarland joins Turnkey from HR technology company, ADP.

MacFarland will drive key partner relationships as well as expand the North American team to support the company's growth.

Richard Hunt, CEO and founder of Turnkey Consulting, says: "Expanding our presence in North America is a key business objective over the next few years, but it's dependent on the right person heading up our operations. Brian combines the empathetic leadership and natural business development skills that we believe are vital for this role. He is well known by our management team – someone who will extend the Turnkey ethos via strong relationships with existing and new partners, and hire and develop new team members to support this."

It has a hugely skillful team with which to facilitate that, and one that is committed to working together to enable the organization to achieve its growth goals.
