VAR Portal has appointed channel veteran Steve Ellis (pictured) as a non-executive director.

Ellis has more than 20 years of experience in the IT industry – holding positions at IBM and Logicalis and more recently as managing director of APSU – a company formed earlier this year through the merger of AssurIT and Apex Computers.

Shamus Kelly, managing director of Portal, said: “Steve has extensive experience in delivering technology solutions and has a background which is highly relevant to our business. I am delighted to welcome him to the board.”

Ellis added: “This is an exciting time to join Portal. The company is growing rapidly and the board has ambitious plans. I hope that as a member of the board I can support the company and its employees in achieving their goals.”
