Commenting on her appointment, Loraine Henderson said: “I am thrilled to be joining such a dynamic customer-focused business. I originally joined the Excelpoint team as a marketing consultant to support them in the implementation of a new marketing strategy. After only two months of consultancy, I felt so at home with the team and realised the exciting opportunities ahead for Excelpoint. I didn’t hesitate to accept the offer of a permanent role from Managing Director Ian Brown. I’m looking forward to an exciting future working with the team and helping them to continue to achieve success.”
Ian Brown, Managing Director of Excelpoint, commented: “Following a sustained period of growth, we took the decision to expand our technical team enabling us to offer customers an unprecedented level of system development and service. With ambitious growth plans for 2019 which include establishing the Excelpoint brand as a key player in the software sector and growth in new sectors, we also took the decision to expand our sales and marketing department. We have made four outstanding appointments for Excelpoint. All of them will play a key role in realising our business growth strategy, and the appointments will add a wealth of experience and resources to the business.”
