Integralis’ new UK boss has moved quickly to bring in some fresh blood at the security integrator.
Simon Church took the UK reins in August and the VAR confirmed that three UK director-level appointments were made this month.
Among the new faces is Jonathan Hughes, who was previously former vice president of UK and Ireland for security vendor Sophos. He started this month in the post of consulting operations director.

Alastair Broom, who was previously UK security director at Cisco Gold partner Dimension Data, also joined this month in the post of solutions director.
Integralis confirmed that a third big name, Garry Sidaway, is joining from service provider Verizon in the post of director of security strategy.
Meanwhile, technical services director Liam O’ Neill, a close colleague of previous managing director Graham Jones, has also left the firm. Other directors in Jones’ inner-circle, including UK sales director Neal Lillywhite, however, remain in place.
Alex Raistrick, regional manager UK, Ireland and Africa at firewall vendor Palo Alto, said: “Integralis seems to be extremely dynamic at the moment and are very well positioned to go to another level. The people it has brought in are best-of-breed people.”
Integralis, which was recently taken over by Japanese giant NTT Communications, made revenues of €168.9m (£153.9m) last year, with the UK generating €68.1m of the total.
