Capscan Grows International Team to Support Growing Sales

International enterprise solutions, bureau and on-demand services get new management following 20% revenue growth

Capscan, a leading supplier of UK and international address management solutions and data quality services, today announces that is expanding its salesforce in response to demand for its international data quality management (IDQM) products and services. Capscan’s international bureau service has achieved 20% revenue growth in the past year, with similar growth expected for its international enterprise products as a result of the forthcoming release of Matchcode International.

Capscan has appointed Louise Halifax to International Bureau Account Manager and Ian Courtney to International Enterprise Account Manager, joining the newly-promoted Emily Hayward as International OnDemand Account Manager and Sales Director, David Mead.

Louise Halifax joins the company from Local Secrets and brings prior experience of working with Capscan’s international products and services during her tenure at Raymead, a Capscan partner. At Capscan, Halifax is responsible for all sales leads and enquiries regarding its international bureau data cleansing and suppression services.

With 10 years’ sales experience in the pubic and private sector, Ian Courtney has worked with organisations including McLaren, Barclays and the Greater London Authority. Courtney will manage Capscan’s sales cycle for its growing number of international enterprise customers.

Emily Hayward was previously Channel Development Manager at Capscan and is now responsible for its international hosted services, including Capscan OnDemand. Prior to joining Capscan in 2008, Hayward was Head of Settlements at independent securities broker, RIA Ltd.

“We have seen a significant leap in the sales and general interest for our IDQM products and services, as businesses look to capitalise on burgeoning markets such as China, Latin America and India,” comments the Sales Director at Capscan, David Mead. “These businesses recognise that the quality of customer contact data is an integral element in building and converting leads from sales and marketing campaigns, as well as maintaining operational efficiencies.”

Capscan will launch the new version of Matchcode International at ‘DMA2010, 9th – 14th October 2010, taking place at the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, USA.
