Jayne Archbold, Iptor CEO, commented, “I am delighted to appoint Daniel at such an important and exciting time in Iptor’s evolution.  His background in developing businesses, teams and infrastructure for growth businesses and his experience of acquisitions were key factors in our decision as was his ‘fit’ for an ambitious, dynamic, people and customer focussed business such as ours.”
