Sukhi commented: "Tony is a high-calibre marketing and business development operator and was therefore an ideal person to join a team of directors whose goal is to take the business to even greater heights."

In his new role, Tony will be a direct report for a number of disciplines, including Facilities Management, the International Development Team, IT and Market Research, in addition to his responsibilities for Marketing, PR and Procurement.

Tony, an award-winning emda Business Champion, commented: "This is an ideal opportunity for me to use my skills and experience in a professional organisation that really is changing the image of an industry."

Tony began his career as a clerk at an insurance company before eventually being part of a four-man team, which launched an innovative firm of brokers and grew it to a nationwide concern, with 76 branches.

The company acquired by a major financial institution, after which point Tony put his skills and experience to good test when he joined a FT-SE100 Software Plc to head their marketing.

In 2004, Tony was recruited by Pall-Ex to control PR, Marketing and the Customer Services, Procurement and Telesales teams, becoming integral to the company's development as one of the leading businesses of its type.
