Simwood has accelerated its growth momentum with a series of staff promotions and high profile hires.
Information security specialist Cal Leeming (pictured) joins next month as Associate Director in charge of ongoing internal developments. Leeming was formerly one of the UK's most prolific hackers but over a decade later is now an expert adviser to business, Government and frequently the media.
He has trained the MoD and the NCA on security and regularly appears on TV as a reformed character.
Leeming also worked for a number of Silicon Valley companies in senior positions before joining Simwood.
Reaffirming its commitment to people development Simwood has promoted Ross McKillop to the role of Associate Director; Porting Manager Rachel Dowling becomes Senior Manager; Project Manager Adele Dowling is posted to the Operations Manager role; and Operations Desk Agent Chris Keller has been promoted to Level 2 Support Engineer based in Southampton.
Thomas Lauro joins Simwood as a Node.js developer. He moves from a Tokyo-based B2B e-commerce company to bolster the company's Mauritius operation.
"The vast majority of our team are technical, genuinely top of their game and largely invisible to customers," said Managing Director Simon Woodhead.
"We have 100 per cent retention of staff and a happy productive team. We're in an exciting place right now."
Simwood has also kicked off a recruitment campaign for additional staff in operations and marketing capacities.
