InVentry, the UK’s leading provider of sign-in and visitor management solutions, is thrilled to announce some exciting new updates including key promotions within its UK division. This significant milestone highlights InVentry’s continued expansion and further solidifies its position as a key player in the global business solutions market.
As part of its ongoing growth, InVentry strengthened its global presence last year through the strategic acquisition of Hipla Technologies, seamlessly integrating their product set into a unified InVentry global brand. This acquisition also led to the expansion of InVentry’s global footprint, with the opening of new offices in India and Singapore.
Global Expansion & Localised Support
With ambitious plans for further growth, InVentry is also set to expand its presence in the Middle East by opening a new office in the UAE. This strategic move will provide more localised support in the region, particularly in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. This move aligns with the broader goal of ensuring dedicated, on-the-ground support and service to InVentry’s rapidly growing customer base in the Middle East – which includes notable clients such as Qatar Foundation Schools, United International School Doha, Copass International School, BISAK (British International School Al Khobar) as well as Rotana Media Group (Riyadh), to name just a few.
Leadership Promotions and New Roles
InVentry is also celebrating the promotion of several key leaders within the company, who will play a crucial role in driving the company’s growth and innovation forward:
Alain Squitieri has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, where he will focus on elevating the company’s UK operations and driving the brand to the next level.
