The appointments follow the resignations of four non-independent non-executive directors earlier this year after the sale of their shareholdings to a number of institutional investors.

“It is a measure of Ebiquity’s current standing, and the board’s aspiration for the company’s future, that we have been able to attract two such high calibre businesspeople to join our board,” said Ebiquity’s chairman, Michael Higgins.

“Julie and Tom add new and important skills and wide experiences to the board and I am confident that they will make a significant contribution both to the governance of the company and its strategic development and growth. I look forward to working with them both.”
