Target's Colin shares finance experience

TARGET PR’s Chairman, Colin Spencer, has become an Associate Director of SouthWestfd.

Maintaining his role at Cheltenham-based Target, Colin joins a team of 12 highly qualified executives who offer interim and part-time financial director services to businesses with a turnover of £1-£15m all over the South West.

They provide a safe pair of hands and experience at the highest level in a wide range of industries at a fraction of the cost of employing a full time person. The company is based in Exeter.

Colin, a chartered management accountant, worked for Saatchi & Saatchi from 1983 to 1991. He joined Target, based in Bath Road, Cheltenham, as Financial Director in 1994 before taking over as Chief Executive and then Chairman.

“Being part of SouthWestfd is a new venture for me,” said Colin, 52, who was lives in Ross-on-Wye.

“I’ve been involved with growing businesses all my career and know how hard it can be to take a burgeoning company to the next level, especially in a recession.

“MDs can’t do everything alone and working with a financial expert with years of experience is a huge asset. They can get on with the operational side of the business, whilst we help them to keep a real grip on the financial complexities.”
