Yodel, the UK independent parcel carrier, has appointed Dan Hobden as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Dan Hobden joins from Shift, where he was also CFO, following two years at Gett.

He served in several roles before being appointed VP of finance and operations, taking responsibility for all finance, supply and regulatory relationships in the UK.

Hobden has a background in accountancy and investment banking, having previously worked at Credit Suisse, where he was involved in analysing investment strategies.

“Yodel has experienced a sustained increase in parcel volumes in recent years, with parcels volumes up three per cent to 191 million in 2023," said Mike Hancox, chief executive, Yodel. "Dan joins us as we continue to expand our consumer-to-consumer and Out of Home offerings that have been a significant area of growth as more consumers choose pre-loved goods.

“We are incredibly grateful for departing CFO Stuart Caldwell’s invaluable work in leading the finance team. His work has been instrumental in positioning Yodel strongly for this next chapter, whilst Dan brings a wealth of experience in investment to the role as we explore new avenues to build on our existing growth momentum.”
