Microsoft Gold Partner razorblue, which boasts seven offices and completed its second acquisition in as many years earlier in 2021, has welcomed back Chris Gill as its Managing Director of Business Applications.


Chris was a founding director of the business and has since held senior roles working within the Business Applications space, as well as Supply Chain Management and Warehousing.

Working closely with businesses, razorblue support with application integration, data analytics, industry-leading Microsoft Dynamics 365 Financials, ERP and CRM solutions, as well as bespoke application development.


Chris said: “It’s a great joy for me to be returning to razorblue, and to be given the opportunity to develop the Business Applications division. It feels very much like coming home, and the familiarity of ethos and company values will mean I can hit the ground running.”


Chris will primarily be based at the company’s Wynyard office and is tasked with leveraging the huge market opportunity in this field, harnessing the reach and capability of razorblue in supporting the digitisation of SMEs across the UK.


Dan Kitchen, CEO of Razorblue Group said: “It’s great to have Chris back in the business, with his vast knowledge and expertise.
