Mr Wakefield has been with Mirriad for six years and, prior to being appointed as CEO, he was Head of European Sales.

In addition, Nic Hellyer, CFO, will be stepping down from Board in the coming months and Mirriad has appointed One Advisory to assist with the Company's finance and company secretarial functions going forward. Nic will remain on the Board for a handover period and further updates will be provided in due course.
