Cecilie Booth
Treasury adviser Arlingclose has poached consultant Cecilie Booth from rival Capita Asset Services (CAS).
Booth, a CIPFA-qualified accountant, will start her new position as client director in the Autumn, and is currently serving gardening leave after resigning from her current role.
In her previous job, she led work on a scheme jointly run with Lloyds Banking Group to help more people build or customise their own homes, while also helping local authorities with land to develop.
Arlingclose director Mark Horsfield said: “Cecilie brings further professional experience and depth to the Arlingclose team and the resources available to our clients particularly in relation to housing delivery options and solutions.

“We have seen an increasing demand from clients in recent years for a range of housing delivery initiatives which we believe will only gather further momentum.
“Cecilie will bring her further experience and knowledge to our clients in this area whilst supplementing the significant skills that we already have on board.”
Booth undertook senor client-facing responsibilities at CAS, with a portfolio of local authority clients, and will have a similar role at Arlingclose, supported by the firm’s technical group and other colleagues.
Booth’s local authority clients are understood to be under contract with CAS, but Horsfield said that as contracts expire, Arlingclose would look to take part in any tender exercises that come forward.
Booth spent 10 years as a director CAS, after joining from her previous role as chief financial officer with section 151 responsibilities for Macclesfield Borough Council.
Between 1995 and 2003, she also worked as head of finance at Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.
Booth’s appointment takes the number of staff at Arlingclose up to 21, including two non-executive directors.
