DCBL appoints new managing director

Cheshire-based debt resolution specialist DCBL has appointed Jamie Gibson as managing director to support the company’s next phase of growth and expansion into new sectors.

Jamie joins from Water Plus, where he played a central role in building the commercial water retail business and rose to managing director for corporate customers.

His background spans operations, debt resolution and strategic leadership, following earlier roles at Severn Trent Water and an eight-year career in the Royal Navy.

At DCBL, Jamie will focus on strengthening the firm’s presence in established markets while leading growth initiatives and developing high-performing teams. 

Jamie said: “DCBL has established a strong position across a variety of sectors, including parking, commercial and residential property and the automotive industry, and it continues to grow across further verticals. 

“The business’ ambition to expand into new sectors really resonated with me. 

“My focus is on bringing the team together, building on the company’s established culture and ensuring that we deliver sustainable growth in the coming years.

"We want to operate efficiently, expand our presence in sectors such as utilities, energy, and telecoms, and continue to enhance the customer experience through technology and innovation. 

“DCBL has a unique offering, and my role is to make sure we continue to evolve, improve, and expand while maintaining ethical, fair, and supportive practices."

Jamie’s appointment follows wider leadership changes across the group, including the recent appointment of a new managing director at sister company DCB Legal.

Darren Connor, group chief operating officer of DCBL and DCB Legal, added: “Jamie’s appointment marks an important step in DCBL’s growth. 

“His combination of operational expertise, leadership experience, and strategic vision makes him the perfect choice to lead the next chapter of our development.

“He brings a practical understanding of operations, having risen through the ranks, alongside a strong focus on culture, efficiency, and innovation. 

“We are confident that under his leadership, DCBL will continue to grow responsibly and successfully, while exploring new markets and opportunities.”
