He brings 25 years’ experience to the role, and joins BluJay from JDA Software, where he spent 14 years in marketing, product development and sales. He will replace Doug Braun, in the role for three years.

Chairman Paul Ilse said: “Doug did an exceptional job reorganising and rebranding the company while integrating five acquisitions over his tenure. We wish him well. Andrew and Doug have worked together in the past, which enables an efficient transition for our employees and customers.”

Mr Kirkwood said: “We know global trade and supply chains are battlegrounds for our customers, which means they are counting on us to help them navigate this increasingly complex world. I will be focused on innovation, customer satisfaction, and creating a great place to work in order to drive strategic value for our customers, employees, and shareholders.”
