Graydon announces new UK boss

Credit referencing firm hands company reins to former Royal Mail executive

Credit referencing agency Graydon UK has appointed former Royal Mail executive Keith Jones as its managing director.

Jones will be handed the company reins on 3 May. He replaces Martin Williams, who told ChannelWeb back in October about his plans to step down.

Prior to joining Graydon, Jones was head of data at Royal Mail, where he developed products using the company's database to drive revenue growth.

On his appointment, Jones said he felt privileged to be joining the firm. "I'm excited to be joining Graydon UK, a business with substantial data assets that has built its reputation on innovative thinking and efficiently run operations," he said.

"This company is privileged to employ some of the most talented people in the credit industry today."

Gordon Skaljak, marketing director at Graydon UK, added: "The past 25 years have seen Keith accumulate a wealth of experience working in B2B and B2C data markets. We are certain this experience will help him to drive Graydon's already innovative and successful UK business forwards."
