Case Communications appoints Ray Piggott as a director and chairman of the board
October 2009 – High Wycombe, England
Case Communications is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Ray Piggott LL.B, C.Eng, FIET as a director and chairman of the board of Case Communications.
Case Communications spokeswoman Jan Corbett said, "We are extremely pleased to have persuaded Ray to join Case Communications. He is a very experienced and highly sought-after executive and we feel he will contribute greatly to our growth and success in the marketplace. Ray has already made a significant contribution to the company and his vision, business acumen and drive will be a great asset to Case Communications."
Ray started his career as a 'technical author' and soon progressed into sales with Rank Xerox Data Systems and made their largest sale in Europe before being promoted to Regional Manager for Germany, Israel, Italy, Scandinavia.
Ray was then approached by US Mini computer manufacturer Data General to run North West Europe for them and, having made a great success of that, he was promoted to Data General Asia where he grew the company to an impressive size before being approached by Traderpoint a division of ICL.
Ray joined ICL as the founding director of Traderpoint reporting directly to the Chairman and Chief Executive, Sir Peter Bonfield. Ray's task was to establish a global indirect sales channel, one which would not conflict with the established direct sales force but which would serve ICL's long-term market-share objectives.
Ray was then approached by Cray Communications to become Chairman and Chief Executive for the company, where he created a global company from a number of regional companies and was responsible for all disciplines: development, production, marketing, sales, finance, IT and human resources.
Ray is the first of several new board members, who are being invited to join Case Communications in order to position the company for rapid growth.
