Formerly Managing Director of the Group’s digital division, Ted Pepper will take on responsibility for the governance, risk and compliance functions across the international Group whilst retaining his role as Director of the Group’s digital division.

Ted is a fellow of the International Compliance Association and has held senior risk and compliance positions with the Group over the past 12 years.

An Associated Member of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries and Administrators, he has significant senior level experience of managing international growth businesses.

A CIPD Fellow, with more than 20 years in HR, Sharon joined the Group in 2020 bringing extensive experience in HR roles across numerous international professional services firms.

The changes to the senior management team reflect the growth and evolution of Suntera Global, building on the management buy-out in June 2019 and signalling the developing corporate maturity of the business.
