Jeremy Bates, formerly UK Sales & Marketing Manager for Boss Solutions, and Bally Binji, formerly of Morse plc, have joined Firstwave Technologies to support the organisation's expanding Sales team. Bates and Binji will assume responsibility for targeting specific vertical markets, including Local & Central Government, Finance & Banking and the Food & Beverage markets.
Jeremy Bates joins Firstwave with over fifteen years of sales experience, having worked in senior sales roles for companies such as Boss Solutions, Panda Software and NeTools Ltd. He has specialised in selling software and services largely within the Finance and Government sectors, with achievements including winning multi-million pound outsourcing contracts at the Department of National Heritage and Bristol Water. He also succeeded in supplying CRM solutions across some of the largest County Councils in the UK.
Commenting on his appointment, Bates explains, "Joining Firstwave Technologies is a very exciting opportunity. I plan to use the experience and contacts I have built up to further enhance Firstwave's market presence within the Financial and Government sectors."
Bally Binji's previous experience includes Sales roles at Morse plc, where she generated a sales pipeline of £2.3 million, which included companies such as Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank. Prior to that Binji was responsible for providing new business software sales and services at Primus Knowledge Solutions, where she achieved 185% of her quarterly targets.
Binji states, "The chance to join a company that is bucking the trend within the CRM marketplace and reporting quarter on quarter profitability is very exciting. I plan to build on the solid foundations that exist here and to expand opportunities for the company -especially in the Food and Beverage sector."
Russell Loarridge, Vice President EMEA for Firstwave Technologies comments, "Having recent appointed a new Channel Sales Manager, these two sales appointments represent a validation of our competitive technology offering. Jeremy and Bally's experience and expertise will further optimise our opportunity to deliver successful customer facing solutions as we continue to grow our business across the UK and Europe".
