Dabs.com founder David Atherton has joined Entatech UK as Chairman.
Dabs.com was one of the earliest online retailers of IT equipment growing from scratch to over £200m revenue per annum.
Atherton sold the business to BT in 2006 and has since worked as an angel investor and as a partner in an accountancy firm.
Entatech UK MD Dave Stevinson commented: "I have known Dave for many years and have always been impressed with the manner in which he works. His track record speaks for itself. He is the right man to strengthen our leadership team and I cannot wait to start working together again."
Atherton added: "After several years out of the game I am delighted to return, especially to work with Dave Stevinson who I have known for over 25 years.
"Despite a changing technology world, best management, service and delivery principles remain constant, and this is a market I know well and I'm hoping to add value to the Entagroup."
