“His ability to foster solid and beneficial business relationships, and his understanding of the risks and challenges inherent in globalisation, will support AsureQuality’s strategic priority of growing our global presence through new collaborative opportunities. We are delighted to welcome Paul to the Board, and look forward to the contribution he will make as we continue to extend the breadth and quality of the company’s services.”
