He supported the business during its growth from five to 350 EMEA employees across 20 countries and led the region during the NYSE IPO of the US parent. In his early career, he spent seven years at Ernst & Young where he was ACCA trained and qualified and progressed into management working in the UK, US and Australia, specialising in the provision of audit and assurance services to mid-market companies.

Ken Archer, Chairman, commented:

"We welcome Tom to the Board and look forward to working with him as we continue the successful development of the company. He brings with him strong commercial finance and operations experience, gained in high-growth financial technology enterprises, and joins our highly respected management team at an exciting time for the Group.

On behalf of all our shareholders, I'd like to thank Rob Grubb for his outstanding contribution to the Group over the last 9 years. We wish him the very best as he takes a well-deserved career break."
