Mark holds a diploma in company direction from the Institute of Directors and has prior AIM company experience as an interim non-board Commercial Director of Imaginatik plc.

Mark's board level experience also includes non-executive board positions with The Worshipful Company of Leathersellers since 2011 and Royal Artillery Institution since 2016. Mark is also a trustee of various charities, including First Trust 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery and the Leathersellers' Barnet Charity.

Chief Financial Officer Appointment

Carmel is joining the Company as CFO, bringing significant experience as a CFO of AIM-quoted technology companies, having previously held such roles at D4t4 Solutions plc, the AIM quoted data analytics business, and Universe Group plc, the AIM quoted developer and supplier of retail management solutions, payment and loyalty systems. Prior to these roles, she was CFO at Celebrus Technologies Limited and spent eleven years with ExxonMobil, having qualified as a chartered accountant with EY.
