“Rewired is celebrating a decade in business, and its been a milestone year for the company on a number of fronts. We’ve moved into new offices, won a series of high profile clients from a variety of sectors, and now I’m particularly pleased to be welcoming Harj as my fellow board director and shareholder.
“From the outset, I have always had huge ambitions for Rewired. Having laid down some solid foundations, I have been actively seeking the right partner to support me in significantly growing the business and ensuring that we meet our full potential, and I’m delighted to have found that person in Harj.
“Harj’s drive and strategic focus, combined with her commitment to our long-term vision, have strengthened Rewired and the last two years have seen us secure a number of major new contracts in addition to expanding our team. I’m looking forward to working together to continue driving forward our growth strategy.”
Harj added:
“It is a huge privilege to work alongside Ruth – Rewired is full of talented people and brilliant brands. Over the two years that I have worked with Rewired, I have seen the potential for us to grow our business and expand our offering. Our focus will be on driving forward our national activity in our core markets, to deliver opportunities for long-term growth and value creation.”
