UK parcel delivery network APC has appointed Liz Stokes as its new HR director, taking over from predecessor Corina Forman, who had been with the business for 18 years.
Stokes has a proven track record across a range of industries including defence, business services and construction, in both the UK and across the globe.
She joins from global defence business Ultra Electronics, where she previously held the role as vice president of human resources. Prior to that, she held the position of HR director at The Clancy Group and Balfour Beatty, in addition to other senior HR roles.

I’m therefore thrilled to be joining APC and helping to drive forward the HR agenda, building upon the already strong foundations as an employer of choice. I’m committed to working with the teams across APC to continue fostering a learning, development and reward culture that champions and inspires all levels of employees.”
