Ms Latacz will act as first-line support to Cimteq customers, with a particular focus on customisation of CableBuilder and CableMES. Her new role builds on career experience across technical support, integration of products with client systems and quality assurance. Ms Latacz’s analytical and investigative skills will be put to use in the cable and wire manufacturing environment. Explaining why she has chosen to develop her career with Cimteq, she said, “My background in support roles has given me a strong insight into client requirements and has allowed me to engender effective communication between various stakeholders. “I wanted to apply these skills to a fast-paced commercial environment where there is an absolute commitment to developing and delivering products that are bespoke to client requirements. “Most of all, I’m looking forward to the most challenging questions and those tasks which require deep delving into the code.” Cimteq Ltd www.cimteq.com

CIMTEQ has appointed Mike Braddock as its CEO, marking a new chapter in the company’s history as it embarks on an ambitious programme of growth for the next decade. Mr Braddock’s appointment comes only 12 months after a £2.5mn investment from the Foresight Regional Investment Fund, and the company’s growth strategy has accelerated with an increase of 65 per cent in staff levels. Company founder Ali Shehab will be working closely with Mr Braddock to develop the overall strategic direction for the business in his role as president. Amanda Shehab will continue to oversee internal operations in her role as director, and in partnership with other executive board members, Rob Douglass (operations director) and Deborah Jones (finance director). Welcoming Mr Braddock to the Cimteq board, Mr Shehab commented, “We have very bold aspirations here at Cimteq. Mike’s overall brief is one of growth, building on the strategy, mission, vision and values that have made Cimteq a cable software manufacturer of choice for some 20 years. “Mike will be joining a highly ambitious team of individuals, and I’ve no doubt that his previous experience of, and leadership in, continuous improvement and transformation make him an incredible asset to our company.”
