Directorate changes
Quartix Holdings plc, a leading supplier of subscription-based
vehicle tracking systems, software and services in the UK, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Ed Ralph as Chief Operating
Officer. Ed joined the Company in February this year and yesterday,
at a committee meeting of the board to approve the interim results,
was appointed to the Board of Quartix Holdings plc.
Ed brings to Quartix extensive experience and a proven track
record in technology management, digital marketing and eCommerce.
From 2001 to 2015 he built and led the technology team at Abcam plc
("Abcam"), having joined the company as the seventh employee and at
a time when its revenues were just GBP200k. After leaving Abcam Ed
served in non-executive or consultancy roles related to technology
and marketing at a range of Cambridge-based companies, including
Red Gate Software, Axol Bioscience and Congenica. During this time
he also conducted consulting projects for Quartix in 2016 before
joining the Company full time in February 2017.
Ed has a first-class honours degree in biochemistry from
Southampton University, a PhD in molecular biology and
biotechnology from Sheffield University and was conducting
post-doctoral research at the University of Cambridge prior to
joining Abcam.
Commenting on the appointment, Andy Walters, Managing Director
of Quartix, said: "Having worked with Ed since last year, I am
delighted that he is now joining the Board in this senior executive
role. Ed brings proven skills in digital marketing, technology and
eCommerce which will be invaluable to Quartix in the next stage of
its development."
The Company is also announcing today that, following 10 years of
exceptional service to the business, David Bridge, the Company's
Finance Director, has indicated that he would like to retire from
the business at some point in 2018. David remains committed to the
company and will work with the rest of the Board to ensure that an
orderly transition is achieved. Plans to recruit a successor for
David are already well underway, and a further announcement
concerning his appointment will be made in due course.
Andy Walters commented: "I would like to record my personal
thanks for the enormous contribution that David has made to the
business since he joined as Finance Director in January 2008. He
will be greatly missed and we wish him well for the future."
