Commenting on his appointment, Roy McKelvie said: “Glasgow is a successful, growing technology hub within the UK, and ideal as the UK base for Encompass. As a graduate of both Strathclyde and Edinburgh universities I have first-hand experience of the wealth of talent being produced locally. It is also exciting for me to see technology which has proven very successful in Australia now being adapted in Scotland for UK markets.”

Wayne Johnson, founder and CEO adds: “With deep experience of local and international business and knowledge of what constitutes best practice in professional and financial services, Roy’s counsel will be invaluable as we mature Encompass’s global outlook and strategy. With his leadership, we hope to genuinely revolutionise the way that professionals working in these sectors create business value by finding insights in increasing volumes of complex information. Additionally, Roy’s guidance will strengthen further the company’s corporate governance.”
