Conor McGrath appointed new Country Manager UK & Ireland

Madrid, 11/01/2016 // Retarus Group continues to pursue its global growth strategy by pressing ahead with the expansion of its UK subsidiary. The stronger market presence allows the leading B2B communications provider to systematically drive its European business forward, enabling it to deal with local customer requirements even more thoroughly. The new Country Manager, Conor McGrath, takes over the management of all business activities and the development of the local country organization with immediate effect.

The strengthening of the UK team follows Retarus’ strategic target of consistently attending to the needs of customers along the financial axis London – New York – Singapore/Hong Kong. As the new Country Manager, Conor McGrath will be responsible for fostering and expanding business relationships in the UK and Ireland, as well as intensifying the cooperation with existing customers. “A large number of top global corporations are headquartered in the UK. We would like to address this potential in a more targeted manner in the future,” explains Conor McGrath. In this regard, the company is especially focusing on the finance and insurance markets, in addition to companies in manufacturing and retail.

“These sectors set extraordinarily high demands for their digital communications and thus particularly stand to profit to a great extent from secure and reliable cloud services. Retarus supports these companies, not only in increasing the efficiency of their process communication, but also in implementing individual and company-specific data privacy and compliance directives.”
