0 Mccann will work alongside Incrementa­l CEO Neil Logan A Glasgow-based digital technology company has announced the appointmen­t of a former Shell senior executive as chief operating officer as it enters its next growth phase.

Incrementa­l Group has hired Kim Mccann, who has also held senior positions with Accenture, IBM and Bank of Scotland, and was most recently global excellence lead at Shell Aviation.

She will work alongside chief executive Neil Logan and the rest of Incrementa­l’s leadership team as it extends its market reach across the UK, builds headcount following organic growth and recent acquisitio­ns, and scales the business.

The group’s customer base now includes Aberdeen City Council, Shelter, Aggreko, Harbro, Scottish Leather Group and Total.

Incrementa­l Group officially launched in 2016 and now has 130 staff across five UK locations – Glasgow (with a flagship office at The Garment Factory), Inverurie, Northwich, Manchester and London.

In November, it announced a £1.2 million regional selective assistance grant to create 110 high-value jobs. It forecasts revenues in the region of £12m this year and is targeting more than 500 highly skilled jobs across the UK and revenues of more than £60m by 2022 via more organic growth and strategic acquisitio­ns.

She said: “When you are growing at this kind of pace, it’s imperative to implement and maintain best practice processes, retain a focus on quality and culture and, most of all, make sure customers remain front and centre to everything you do.”

Logan said: “Kim brings blue-chip, global experience and will help us to drive performanc­e and customer satisfacti­on through strong processes, governance and culture.”
