Scyron makes Hall appointment

10 Jan 09

The newly-created position replaces the previous role of finance manager.

Hall has over 30 years of experience in finance and IT, and “will seek strategic investment to fulfill Scyron’s aim of increasing its global market share as the world leader in intelligent, video surveillance systems”.

Hall will report to Mike Wilks, Scyron’s CEO, and will be responsible for managing long-term investment from private partners and venture capitalists to support the company’s expansion plans.

These include a tenfold increase in revenues by 2011 in the market for intelligent, networked video surveillance, estimated to be worth $1.7 billion worldwide by 2012, according to IMS Research.

Also, he will be responsible for new accounting systems and establishing a robust administrative framework, as well as financial policies for sales, and research and development as the company evolves.

Prior to Scyron, Hall spent fourteen years as head of finance and administration at Sophos, a leader in IT security and control systems for business, education and government organisations.

Michael Wilks, CEO of Scyron said, “We have aggressive plans for growth both in the UK and overseas and we will benefit enormously from new strategic alliances, such as our recently announced global partnership with Microsoft.

“Martin’s appointment is key: he has an excellent track record in building strong, financial infrastructures and attracting financial investment for high-tech businesses, helping them to grow quickly and realise significant value on the market.”
