“We are a business that is growing and part of an industry within which the technology changes quickly and Jess’s energy and enthusiasm will be important as we go forward.”

Jess said: “I am very much looking forward to the challenge.

“We have great staff here and everyone feels very much part of a team which will make things easier.
