Leading merchant software provider, Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS), has appointed Andrew Wilkinson as European Sales Director, with an initial focus on the UK.
Andrew, who has more than 20 years of sales experience in the distribution, merchant and manufacturing software industries, joins the Hungerford based company as it experiences a period of impressive organic and acquisitive growth.

The KCS objective is to design systems and services to meet the business needs of all types and sizes of distributive company - and to work closely with them to ensure they get the very best from their investment in the software. K8 Babbage is the company’s current major software release. It can be delivered to customers via a range of flexible solutions to suit individual businesses, including the KCS Cloud or a SAAS (software as a service) model that delivers a known cost for budgeting and the seamless addition of new users and branches as the business grows.
