Selway comes to Aryaka after 10 years at Lumen Technologies (and its precursors CenturyLink and Level 3 Communications) where he was most recently Wholesale Sales Director for the UK and Ireland. www.aryaka.com New executive team for IMMJ Systems IMMJ Systems, the Chelmsfordheadquartered provider of electronic document management technology to 20 NHS Trusts, has appointed a new executive team tasked with acquiring 30 additional customers by the end of the 2026 financial year and increasing annual recurring revenue to £6m. Key changes include the appointment of Jon Pickering as CEO and the promotions of former Head of Software Engineering Andrew Leeks to Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and former Head of Transformation Lisa Harris to Chief Operations Officer (COO). Graham Ridgway remains the company Chairman, Jennie Costello continues in her role as Chief Finance Officer (CFO) and Jamie Hall remains Head of Sales. Jon Pickering said: “In relative terms, IMMJ remains a young health tech firm, having been established in only 2015. However, backed by investment from Foresight the business has grown quickly. “It was apparent last year that a new commercial strategy was required – not only to drive the organisation forward to reach its full potential, but to better enable the rapid digitisation of clinical content for use at the point of care. This is a complex eco-system – not least because of red tape surrounding funding, and the marked digital maturity differences from one Trust to the next. However, the succession plan for IMMJ – which saw the four founding directors fully exit the business and a new exec team take shape – means we are ambitious about our plans for the years ahead.” New Ignys MD Nottingham-based electronics and embedded software consultancy Ignys is building on recent successes with the appointment of new Managing Director Neil Carter. Ignys Founder and CEO Richard Fletcher said: “Neil brings a very strong technical background to Ignys, along with strategic experience in hardware, software and product development. Neil has previously held positions as CTO in both IoT and wearable tech, with proven results in multiple industries and in a number of geographies. His background and our future are perfectly in sync, he was the natural choice.” In the last two years, Ignys has doubled its turnover, successfully completed more than 170 projects and won the Design Team of the Year Award at the 2021 and 2022 Elektra Awards. www.ignys.co.uk Muttock joins EvolveODM Wigan-based IT and managed network services provider EvolveODM has followed its acquisition of IT firm GB3 in November with the appointment of Neil Muttock as Commercial Director.
