Civica says it is strengthening its leadership team with the appointment of a new UK CEO.
Lee Perkins will be responsible for overseeing UK operations and supporting the group's growth plans in the region and internationally.
He has held senior positions in the UK technology sector, including UK MD and latterly Group COO at Sage, CEO of M247 (formerly Metronet Group) and earlier in his career was the UK MD of Tech Data.
Civica says his experience of operating software businesses and leading transformation programmes "will be valuable" for the group going forward.
"Today's appointment builds on the strong trading momentum of 2022 and a proven track record of 23 years unbroken growth," the software provider said.
It comes after Civica's licensing and cloud software lifecycle (LCSL) was acquired by VAR giant SCC earlier this year.
Civica's LCSL business contributed to overall software and related services revenue of £346.7m for the year 2020, its financial results show.
Civica founder and group chair Simon Downing said: "I'm delighted to welcome Lee to the team and he joins the business at an exciting time.
"His experience in leading a scale software product business along with his expertise in SaaS, go to market and software product strategy will be valuable in supporting our ambitious growth plans, both in the UK and internationally."
