Annodata has strengthened its senior management team and underscored its growth ambitions with the appointment of Joe Kelly (pictured) as Group Finance Director. The move comes soon after the company acquired Keltec in late 2014 and chimes with its plans to become a £100m business by 2016 through organic growth and by acquisition.
Former Group Finance Director Suki Purewal is now the company's Commercial Director.
Prior to joining Annodata, Kelly worked for a range of listed, private and private equity-backed businesses, including 365ITServices, PRGX Global Inc and the Parity Group.
"With significant financial, operational and M&A experience working in mid-markets in the technology and business services sectors, Kelly will play a key guiding role in helping Annodata fulfil its growth ambitions," said Martin St. Quinton, Chairman of Annodata
"Joe joins the company during a period of intense growth and rapid change as we seek to diversify our product offering and strengthen our nationwide footprint.
"Annodata has major growth ambitions and to achieve them it's important that we have a strong senior management team in place.
"Joe's extensive experience working with dynamic organisations and excellent track record makes him a strong addition to the company, and I would like to welcome him on board."
Kelly added: "Annodata has undergone a number of important changes in recent years and, in the process, done a lot of growing up, making it an exciting time to join the company.
"2015 is shaping up to be a busy year as we look to make a number of strategically important acquisitions and bed in those acquisitions already made. I look forward using my experience to capitalise on the advances already made and help to drive the business forward."
