“This is an exciting time to be joining Access and I am keen to contribute to the Group’s exceptional growth and help propel and deliver success across the PaySuite division. I am looking forward to working with a like-minded team at Access globally to continue to drive innovation on behalf of our customers and partners in the ever-evolving payments landscape.
I am committed to ensuring that we continue to deliver exceptional service and value to all our customers and stakeholders and look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
Access Group CEO, Chris Bayne added:
“I am delighted to welcome Giulio as Managing Director of Access PaySuite, he will be responsible for the strategic and operational development of the division and has the skillset, drive and passion to make a great success for both our customers and our people.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Andrea Dunlop for helping build Access PaySuite into the organisation it is today; her hard work and dedication has laid the foundations for the future of payments at Access and we will continue to build on that.
I am delighted that she has committed to remaining with Access as a non-executive director and will be supporting Giulio with both FCA and regulatory support and M&A strategy - we are looking forward to the value she will bring in her new role.”
