Clive Brandon has joined Crocus Consulting as National Sales Manager. His role is to spearhead the company's sales drive to major organisations seeking support services for PeopleSoft and Oracle BI solutions. Prior to joining Crocus, Brandon has held a number of senior management positions with major IT vendor organisations. These include the roles of: UK Sales and Marketing Director at Walker International, Global Account Director at SAP, UK Sales Director at Epiphany and Sales Manager for the Financial Services market at PeopleSoft UK.

Commenting upon Brandon' s appointment, Crocus Consulting's Sales Director Paul Grant noted, "Clive's appointment reflects the significant increase in the number of enquiries that we are receiving for PeopleSoft and Oracle support services from major organisations. Clive will therefore be right at the centre of things from day one and I expect that he will make a hugely positive contribution.

"Indeed few people possess such a considerable wealth of experience in enterprise level solution sales and I am extremely confident that he is the ideal person to stress the quality and expertise of the support services that we deliver. I look forward to working closely with him."

For his part, Brandon welcomed Grant's comments adding, "I have joined Crocus as they are, quite frankly, a most impressive organisation with both a blue-chip client base and an attitude to service delivery that builds lasting client relationships. With its extensive Test Drive facilities and its acclaimed Upgrade Laboratory, no other consultancy I've seen can deliver an equivalent level of support to PeopleSoft and Oracle BI users. This approach no doubt explains the significant number of enquiries that they are receiving. I look forward to taking over the role of managing these and introducing these prospects to what we can deliver.
