The new committee, comprising influential leaders from the techUK membership, will support and guide the strategic direction for techUK’s work across the UK’s Nations and Regions, develop and grow the Local Digital Index and highlight the importance of the UK’s digital economy.
Simon’s role will also include engaging with stakeholders in devolved UK government departments across the UK helping support techUK’s engagement, feedback and relationship with these important partners to the UK’s tech sector and ensuring the programme accurately reflects members’ and our partners priorities.
As Codurance Regional Director, Simon is well placed to provide the Council with insights into the trends, challenges and opportunities in tech across the UK. Over a 30 year career, he has supported customers in both the private and public sector successfully transforming their businesses and organisations through the adoption of digital technologies and modern best practices.
