Pagabo Group adds to leadership
The Hull-based company has promoted Amman Boughan into a new role as deputy chief executive, while Dave Stott is joining the team as chief technology officer.
Boughan’s move comes after he spent two years as Pagabo’s chief financial officer and reflects his broader role within the company.
Moving forward, he will focus on delivering direction in terms of how the business builds relationships with its clients.
He has worked at Pagabo for almost two years and has previously worked for a range of companies including Preventx, Lights4Fun, and Sky Betting.
He said: “One of the biggest things that brought me to the business initially was its approach to relationships, and its longstanding unique market position – our business units provide a brilliant blend to collaborate with clients and supply chain across every stage of development delivery.
“That position hasn’t changed, and by focusing on digitisation, ongoing innovation, and a people-first approach, we can create meaningful benefits for people, communities, and local economies.
“It’s an area I’m particularly passionate about, especially as a father – what we do today shapes the world the next generation will inherit.”
Meanwhile, Stott’s appointment as CTO is part of Pagabo’s drive forward in this sector.
His experience spans multiple sectors, including most recently working in the autonomous vehicle space, and experience in driving business growth, being instrumental in the significant scale-up of Ideagen to a billion-pound global business.
He joined Pagabo six months ago, and prior to that has worked at Oxa, Ideagen, and Maplin. He began his career doing clerical roles at Barnsley Council.
Stott said: “It’s a unique opportunity ahead of us, and leveraging technology and data to break down siloes and transition to a more joined-up approach across the industry is something that’s never been more opportune with the rapid emergence of AI.
“Alignment across the built environment especially is integral, and we have a range of products that mean when things are ‘done right’, then everyone benefits.
“Everything combines to create a net positive. This can mean organisations spending wisely, businesses improving operations across projects, and communities or individuals reaping the rewards of delivered works.”
Simon Toplass, Pagabo Group’s chief executive, said: “Our business is built on evolving markets through both innovation and relationships – making sure that the right people, solutions and support are there for partners to deliver real results.
“There’s always more to be done, and that’s exactly why we’re investing in both digital solutions and people.
“Welcoming Dave to the team and Amman into his new role at a pivotal time is the latest move in developing our board to turn challenges into opportunities and efficiencies.
“Working together with the wider board and our Pagabo Group colleagues, we’re continuing our drive to find the best ways to deliver better outcomes for all.”
