for Public Sector and Healthcare
May 27, 2010 - London, UK - Iron Mountain, the information management company, has appointed Simon Duddy as Commercial Director for the UK Public Sector and Healthcare.
In his new role, Duddy will assume responsibility for growing Iron Mountain's customer base within these sectors and find bespoke solutions to meet their evolving information management needs. This includes helping government and National Health Service (NHS) customers to successfully integrate physical and digital information, leveraging additional value from their data resources whilst increasingly focusing on information risk management, data security and compliance.
He will lead a highly specialised and experienced team as well as develop channel partnerships. Duddy will also be charged with extending Iron Mountain's already healthy customer base in the public sector, which includes the National Health Service, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Probate Service.
“Simon brings with him a great understanding of the public sector and the specific needs of customers,” said Peter Eglinton, senior vice-president, UK, Ireland and Norway operations, Iron Mountain. “He will be using his experience in handling information in the supply chain and taking the same approach in understanding our customers.”
Prior to his new appointment, Duddy was the Head of Consulting for the National Health Service Supply Chain contract within DHL, responsible for product development and strategic transformation initiatives. Previously he helped medical manufacturers develop and implement supply chain strategies across Europe, and was responsible for designing a new logistics service for the National Health Service in London.
“I am looking forward to the opportunity to drive strategy and directly influence the performance of the business. The Public and Healthcare sectors are going through a period of significant change at the moment; budgets are being cut in-line with an increasing call to streamline business practices, yet maintain and improve services. These organisations will increasingly look to companies like Iron Mountain to solve complex information management issues which will help them to provide more efficient services to the public,” said Duddy. “Iron Mountain has a very credible product offering coupled with a strong team; I'm excited to be part of the company's continued success and expansion into the public sector.”
