WARRINGTON-based business and freelancer services group Optionis has appointed Iain Ferguson as non-executive chairman.
A former executive vice president at global advertising and marketing giant Havas, he will advise the Optionis management team on strategy and operations.
His arrival comes a year after Optionis completed a secondary buyout (SBO) backed by MML Capital Partners.
Mr Ferguson (pictured) will play a key role as the group, which has made four
acquisitions in the past 18 months, eyes further potential takeover targets.
Managing director Derek Kelly said: “Iain’s expertise will be invaluable as we enter the next phase of our long-term growth strategy.
“Crucially, he has experience of advising and helping to lead ambitious, private equity-backed companies such as Optionis. We are pleased to welcome him aboard.”
Optionis, which has its head office on Centre Park, now employs more than 300 office-based staff across seven UK sites.
Mr Ferguson adds his non-executive chairmanship at Optionis to several other leadership roles at UK and international firms.
He said: “Optionis ticks all the right boxes for me. It is a dynamic, acquisitive and bold organisation with a strong leadership team and excellent growth potential.
“I plan to help it fulfil that potential over the coming months and years.”
