LONDON (Alliance News) - Gas and electricity firm Bilby PLC said on Wednesday it has appointed Kin & Carta PLC's finance director for Marketing Activation as its own head of finance.

"Together with his deep finance expertise, I am confident he will be highly valuable to the group. We very much look forward to working with him as we continue to grow both organically and through our buy and build strategy."
