Contis boss targets global leader status
The newly-installed managing director of Contis has pledged to turn the provider of online banking and prepaid card technologies into a world leader in its sector.
Mike Fromant's promotion to the top job at the Skipton-based business coincided with the recent launch of a £2m investment programme.
The investment is aimed at positioning the company at the forefront of developments in payment processing, including cloud computing and SMART phone technology.
Fromant said: "It is exhilarating to be handed the reins of the company during such an exciting time.
"The prepaid industry is really flourishing – with predictions of a boom expected to continue until at least 2017, and I will seize this opportunity to drive Contis forward as a global leader within the sector."
