Scout7’s international growth and development based at Birmingham’s leading science park was recognized at the recent West Midlands Chartered Accountant of the Year awards, where the company collected the prestigious Business of the Year Award.
The award was collected by Scout7 Chairman Mark Ansell, who is a long-time member of the Society of Chartered Accountants, and Managing Director Lee Jamison. The award follows a year of major expansion by the company based at Birmingham Science Park Aston, not only in the evolution of services delivered to professional clubs, but also in its internal infrastructure. These changes have culminated in Bradford Griffiths being appointed to the company's Board as Operations Director, with the responsibility of overseeing a team of dedicated application managers and system developers, which has tripled in size during the past 18 months.
As a direct result of these initiatives, Scout7 has made steps to ensure it continues to offer clubs around the world the most advanced portfolio of player recruitment and squad management applications. Over 120 clubs worldwide currently have Scout7 technology implemented within their internal infrastructure, including clubs in South America and the Middle East following new agreements struck this spring.
After receiving the award on behalf of the company, Ansell paid tribute to the people who have played their part in establishing Scout7's position at the top end of professional football. "This prize is recognition of the many years hard work by our team in establishing Scout7 as one of the key solution providers to the football industry," he says. I would like to think that through the dynamic technology we have delivered during this time, we have played a part in this evolution for the wider good of the game, and long may that continue."
