LONDON (Alliance News) - Business finance provider 1pm PLC said Wednesday it had appointed David Jones as its IT chief as it completes the strengthening of its senior management team.
Jones has served in a number of senior IT roles over the last two decades. Most recently he was IT director at formerly AIM-listed Jelf Group for over a decade. This saw him "develop and oversee the IT infrastructure of a group that grew from two sites with some 80 staff to over 35 sites and in excess of 1,000 staff."
1pm Chief Executive Officer Ian Smith said he was "delighted" to welcome Jones to the firm.
"The IT, Systems and Innovation role is a new, key position that will impact on all aspects of our business," Smith explained, adding that the experience of Jones "of operating in a rapidly growing 'buy and build' environment will prove invaluable to us."
Shares in 1pm were 2.1% lower at 43.10 pence on Wednesday.
