London, UK – Jan 21, 2010 -- BigHand, the leading voice productivity application in the professional services community, today announces the recent appointment of Graham Gilbert as Chairman. Graham’s appointment comes as BigHand’s global client base approaches 100,000 users, and expansion into the North American Professional Services market and UK Healthcare sector picks up momentum.
Prior to joining BigHand, Graham was Chairman and CEO of Computerland until it was sold to Capita Group PLC last year. Graham commented:
“With approaching 1,000 organisations as clients and 100,000 users BigHand is entering an exciting phase of its evolution. The opportunities presented before the company in terms of product development and new global markets offer the chance to build on its success to date and accelerate further growth. David Fryer will be moving on to pursue interests outside of BigHand and as a result the company will be appointing a new CEO shortly. I would like to thank David for his hard work and dedication over the past 6 years and to wish him all the best for the future.”
