With a new focus on technology and services in the education, learning and training sector, Tribal’s international business has been able to point to buoyancy in markets such as Australia and New Zealand (see Tribal’s positive end to a difficult year and Tribal slides on mixed signals. However, the Group has continued to struggle in a difficult UK market.
It is therefore newsworthy that the Group has appointed Robin Crewe as a non-executive director (from 3rd July). Crewe has been CTO of Misys since May 2010, and prior to that CE of Propero, a software company he founded in 2000. Hopefully Crewe can help Tribal use some of its valuable IP to find new growth opportunities in the UK market.
