York, UK – 24th November 2009 – Trustmarque Solutions, specialists in all facets of software management, has today announced that it has appointed Tom Greed as the new Regional Sales Manager heading up Trustmarque’s newly opened Southern office in Windsor.

Greed joins Trustmarque from Computacentre where he worked for four years in the Software and Solutions Team as Software Solutions Specialist. Greed brings to Trustmarque a broad range of IT sales and management experience with an impressive track record in leading sales teams at IT companies such as Insight UK and Microwarehouse Ltd where he latterly worked to develop a turnover exceeding £180million. Having spent ten years working in the IT and Solutions industry, Greed is an highly experienced professional within the B2Btechnology sector and his skills around Microsoft product and SAM solution services will be put to good use in this new exciting and strategic role. Greed will head up a recruitment drive which will see Trustmarque head-hunt the country’s best new talent.

Greed comments on his new appointment and rationale for joining the Trustmarque team:

“Trustmarque is a company which I have been watching for several years and am thrilled to be given the opportunity to join such a dynamic and ambitious organisation. The brand is one which is clearly respected by clients and partners and I am looking forward to playing my part in delivering growth in the new business sector in both the Public and Commercial space. The growth of Trustmarque Enterprise Solutions Group shows how committed the company is to its customers and it’s a brilliant opportunity and challenge for me to be joining Trustmarque at such a pivotal stage in the company’s evolution.”

“I am looking forward to building strong relationships with clients and partners in order to deliver excellent results. Seeing how Trustmarque has expanded in 2009 matches my vision and direction for sales success and team development. As Regional Sales Manager I intend to support our customers on a journey through service offerings, guiding them to the solution and service which suits them best and one which delivers the best return for Trustmarque.”

Greed’s immediate focus will be to drive mid-market growth and the services that attach around the core Trustmarque Solutions propositions of Storage and Virtualisation, Information Security, Managed Licence Services, Infrastructure Optimisation and Business Intelligence.

Angelo Di Ventura, Group Sales and Marketing Director for Trustmarque, comments:

“Tom is a results-orientated professional and has worked in some high pressured sales and managerial roles so he is well qualified and suited to developing effective initiatives which will stimulate growth. The Southern region is an important territory for us. We were keen to make Trustmarque stand out from the crowd, and this meant attracting a skilled sales person to execute on our objectives and to lead Trustmarque into its next phase of its growth, and Tom fits that bill perfectly. Throughout his career, he has shown leadership qualities and in Windsor he will be heading up a small team which we plan to grow rapidly. We are delighted to welcome Tom to the team.”

Three months have now passed since Trustmarque’s Enterprise Solutions Group (TESG) was set up in response to demand from customers for Trustmarque to not only provide software and consultancy, but also to deliver the means to help with the implementation process. Greed’s appointment reinforces Trustmarque’s commitment to grow the TESG – its success depends on experienced professionals with the managerial, technical and communication skills to lead this exciting area of the business.
