Previously occupying the position of chief information officer at ARM Holdings, where he led all aspects of the organisation’s IT activity, Richard is now responsible for Northgate’s information management and supporting technology – including IT services, process improvement and data management across both Northgate’s United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland based operations.
Harris’ experience includes senior IT roles with prestigious power systems and engineering company, Rolls-Royce, where he spent 25 years in total.
As Northgate continues to deliver growth, rising customer demand has seen the market leader invest significantly into its fleet with a commitment to purchase an additional 7000 vehicles by the end of the financial year.
‘It is certainly a good time to be joining Northgate, where growth and market dominance remains a key objective,’ Harris commented. ‘Profitable growth for Northgate will in part be underpinned by investment in leading IT infrastructure, and through the use of modern IT services we can continue to propel the business forward.’
