Computacenter's UK MD of 20 years Neil Muller (pictured left) is heading to Daisy as CEO in a move that sees Matt Riley become Executive Chairman. Riley founded Daisy in 2001 and has grown the company's turnover to £350m. Muller runs Computacenter's UK business in the enterprise market and takes up his new position in February 2015 when he will focus on the mid-market in particular.
Riley said the appointment is 'vital' for developing Daisy's growth in the ICT space, especially its managed services portfolio.
Riley commented: "We are now perfectly positioned to become the major force in the SME and mid-market IT and business communications industry.
"With someone as experienced and ambitious as Neil at the helm, I have every confidence that the company will progress to an exciting new level of growth, and I look forward to working closely with him."
Muller added: "The converging world of telecommunications and IT represents a host of exciting opportunities and Daisy is in a prime position to evolve and to adapt its existing capabilities, addressing new market dynamics and mid-market customer needs."
Muller will be based at Daisy's Reading office which houses more than 100 staff and is the main centre for its managed services operations.
Daisy has 16 sites and employs more than 1,500 people across the UK, and provides services to more than 65,000 business customers.
