IOMART, the cloud computing specialist, has appointed financial services veteran Ian Steele as a non-executive director, writes Scott Wright.
Mr Steele, who is also non-executive director of STV, had a 16-year spell with Deloitte during his 35-year career in the corporate finance sector. He was senior partner for Scotland and Northern Ireland at the firm and served on the UK board of the accountancy giant or eight years.
Mr Steel, who is also a non-executive director of Killinchy Aerospace Holdings, joins Iomart shortly after it announced that Chris Batterham would be stepping down at its forthcoming annual meeting.
Iomart chairman Ian Ritchie said: "We are delighted to welcome Ian on to the Board of Iomart. His considerable experience and insight will be invaluable to us as we continue to pursue a successful growth strategy."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
