Snell’s outgoing CEO Simon Derry (pictured), commented: “I’m really delighted that the Snell and Quantel businesses have come together to increase the scale and scope for both. Under Ray’s leadership the combined business will be able to write a new and exciting chapter moving forwards. I look forward to supporting Ray during the important period of transition.”

“Our product ranges are entirely complementary so the excellent Snell and Quantel brands and product ranges will continue,” continued Cross. “We’ll be able to combine the best in class talent and technologies from Quantel and Snell to bring exciting new products and solutions to market to help our customers transform their businesses. More local offices across the world will enable us to build closer relationships with our customers and to offer even better support.”

A new facility will be created at the company headquarters in Newbury, UK.
