Bright Purple co-founder and managing director Nick Price has been elected to the board of ScotlandIS, the trade body responsible for Scotland’s software and information communications technologies (ICT) industries.

Nick’s election to the board was confirmed in May, and his duties commenced on June 10th, when the new board were inducted at the inaugural dinner, during which the previous board were thanked for all their hard work.

Nick is joined on the new board of ScotlandIS by David Farquhar, CEO of 2in10, a venture management firm based in Glasgow; and Wendy McDougall, founder of 9-12 recruitment.

Of the appointment, Nick said “This is an important organisation in Scotland, representing the many large, SME and start-up technology businesses across Scotland.” He added, “the Scottish technology and communications sector has produced a number of great companies over the years, companies with genuine international scale and reach. However, the industry has still yet to truly realise its potential, something which ScotlandIS is working to change.”
