Award winning Manchester tech business, DigitalBridge, has announced the appointment of James Lewis as chief operations officer, as the company seeks to expand its global reach.

As part of his role, James will take on responsibility for day-to-day business functions, including recruitment, marketing and positioning the business for scalable growth across the globe.

Having excelled within the team, helping to define a strategy and roadmap for future operations, he has been progressed to this new role.
