Oldersma said in a statement: “We are delighted to welcome Bhavesh to the group. He brings a wealth of commercial experience from the IT sector and a fantastic range of expertise gained as a senior executive with a strong reputation for consistently delivering excellent results.”

Patel added: “I’m delighted to join Meinie and the team. It is clear there is a lot of ambition and commitment here at 20:20 and this is a hugely exciting and important stage of the company’s growth and development.

“Following my time with Ingram Micro, I was looking for a new challenge in an adjacent industry and this position is a perfect complement to my previous experience and one I am delighted to accept.”
