platform of capabilities - from innovation advisory through
enabling technologies - to help both businesses and organizations
'make sense' and 'take action' on shifts in value, needs and
opportunities. I am excited both to help ensure that the Company is
ideally positioned and capable to capitalise on this rapidly
evolving and growing market as well as to be working with Matt and
the team to drive this proposition forward."

to welcome Ralph to the Board. . He brings to the Group both a
wealth of industry insight as well as vast experience working in an
advisory capacity to global businesses, and is ideally suited to
our business and growth strategy. I am confident his guidance will
be invaluable as we grow the business. I look forward to working
with Ralph and remain excited about the future prospects for the
Group."
