Lucy Dimes, incoming Non-Executive Chair, commented: “I am delighted to be joining the Board of iomart, a company I have admired for a number of years. The UK does not have many home grown technology businesses, and, over the last 20 years since its inception, iomart has evolved to become one of the UK’s largest and most successful independent providers of managed cloud computing services.

I welcome this fantastic opportunity to work with Reece and the rest of the Board to help realise the  company’s full potential in the future.”
