In a bold move towards a smarter, data-driven future, Nixon Hire, the specialists in sustainable site accommodation, modular spaces, and renewable power, has officially appointed John Whitlow as Chief Information Officer (CIO). His place on the company’s main board signals the weight technology will carry in driving long-term strategic progress.
Having partnered with Nixon Hire as a trusted consultant since mid-2022, Whitlow is no stranger to the firm’s digital ambitions. He now steps fully into the frame to steer a multi-million-pound digital transformation journey that will deeply integrate AI, data analysis, and real-time intelligence into the business’s very fabric, with the aim of delivering exceptional customer experiences, operational excellence, and sustainable growth.
With a career spanning more than 25 years, Whitlow brings with him a rich tapestry of leadership in IT, business strategy, and change consultancy. His journey has touched industries as diverse as finance, education, healthcare, and legal. Notably, at Barclays, he pioneered an IT overhaul that achieved a 70% productivity boost and £10 million in savings over three years. At HBOS, he streamlined systems post-merger, bringing efficiency and coherence to the fore.
Internally, Whitlow’s leadership will usher in a connected, agile Nixon Hire, one where automation and AI strip away repetitive tasks and empower teams to focus on innovation, collaboration, and customer value. On the customer front, the transformation promises a seamless, intuitive journey, from digital touchpoints to predictive site analytics that offer smarter decision-making and stronger outcomes.
Graham Nixon, CEO, shared:
“I am delighted to announce John as our latest game-changing senior appointment to Nixon Hire. As a consultant, John has already played a pivotal role in shaping our digital strategy, and we are thrilled to have him on board in a permanent capacity to drive the delivery of it, elevating our customer experience and enhancing our operational capability.”
John Whitlow added:
“The industry is evolving rapidly, creating a major opportunity for an ambitious, fast-moving business like Nixon Hire to set the standard in digital transformation. Having worked closely with the team for the past couple of years, I have seen first-hand the drive and determination to embrace change, push boundaries, and continually improve both customer experience and operational efficiency.
As Nixon Hire invests heavily in its IT backbone and expands its tech talent, a new chapter begins, one written in data, driven by AI, and powered by vision.
