Damian, who served as Managing Director for 15 years, will shift his focus to developing innovative products and services, as well as developing strategic partnerships for 2024 and beyond.
Gavin commented on the announcement, “I am thrilled to be taking this next step in my career and taking on this new role within the business. Since joining in 2014, my tenure has afforded me a comprehensive insight into both the team and the strategic needs of the business. Armed with this knowledge, I am excited to continue to play a role in steering the team towards sustained growth in the future, following our best year to date.”
