Twenty7tec, a Bournemouth firm providing financial advice technology, has kicked off the year on a high note with a handful of new appointments.
Clive Beattie has joined the team as group chief financial officer (CFO), while Elaine Howard takes on the role of director of marketing and communications.
An associate chartered accountant, Clive has served as CFO for businesses both publicly listed, like OnTheMarket, and backed by private equity, including nurtur.group.
Elaine is qualified with the Institute of Direct and Digital Marketing and brings more than 16 years of experience to the new job.
She’s previously been marketing director at Gallagher Benefits & HR Consulting and head of marketing at Utility Point.
As well as these two external hires, Twenty7tec has also made a pair of internal promotions.
Toni Robinson-Bowring rises from director of product delivery to product and delivery director, leading a team to drive Twenty7tec’s product vision.
Meanwhile, Nathan Reilly has stepped up as commercial director, with plans to establish a joined-up commercial and operations team.
James Tucker, CEO of Twenty7tec, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Clive and Elaine to the Twenty7tec team.
“Clive’s financial acumen and Elaine’s marketing expertise will play a pivotal role in supporting our ambitious growth strategy for 2025 and beyond.
