Russell Horton officially joins us today and he will be working with our executive team and our investors, Five Arrows, to support the next phase of our growth.
He brings over 30 years in UK telecoms, IT, and cyber security, including 26 acquisitions and deep experience of scaling and integrating businesses.
Most recently he was CEO of FluidOne, which he grew from £26m to £110m revenue over seven years through nine acquisitions, while building a world-class service culture. Alongside this he chaired CSA Cyber, growing it from under £1m to £10m revenue and into one of the most accredited cyber businesses in the UK.
At Croft, Russell's focus is helping us deliver our vision: to set the standard for service as one team, expertly delivering future-ready IT, Cyber, AI, and Communications for mid-sized businesses.
He is a strong advocate of secure AI adoption and of the simple principle that has driven his career, that happy, motivated teams deliver great service to customers.
We're looking forward to what we can achieve together.
