MD appointment hospitality IT company

Prime who has been with FDH for 20 years, moves into the role at a time when the company is seeing strong growth in its existing markets and is embarking on expansion into new market sectors. In contrast to the economic downturn, the independent software house is forecasting 10% growth for the coming year on a current turnover that is in excess of £2.5 million. The company has already seen a significant increase in sales over the last 12 months for its core web-enabled products, management information and nutritional analysis software. Alongside Prime's appointment, the sales team has been boosted with two further appointments, Jodie Nicholls and Nigel Adams, bringing total staff numbers to 26. Prime comments: "By working in partnership with our customers to deliver a software solution that suits their particular requirements, we have built a strong client base in the contract catering and local authority sectors. "Having developed our software further we are now making inroads into new markets, particularly with our nutritional analysis software as more restaurants, takeaways and workplace caterers sign up to the Food Standards Agency's initiative to inform customers of the nutritional content of the meals being served." "Overseas we are also striking up promising partnerships, particularly in Sweden which has a similar corporate structure to the UK."
