Morris was previously finance director for UK and Ireland operations at Kelly Services – implementing new front office and billing systems and returning the 20-year loss making business to profit. 

Morris’s appointment reflects Petroplan’s strategic shift as the group “accelerates, adapts and sharpens” their service offering, a company statement said.  

Morris will support CEO Christopher Honeyman Brown and the board team in the development and rollout of the new business strategy, the statement said.

Before Kelly Services, Morris spent two years as finance and commercial director at IT service management firm. Cisilion, and 12 years at ICT services firm Damovo.
