We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Dave Cruickshank for his outstanding contributions and wish him all the best in his future pursuits.” Adding to this, new CEO Mike Wright said: “I am excited to step into the role of CEO at The Atcore Group and lead a company that has consistently set the standard for innovation and excellence in our industry.
During my time with Atcore I’ve witnessed the incredible impact our technology has had on our clients and the market. I’m committed to driving our business forward, continuing to deliver exceptional service and innovation to our customers, and exploring new opportunities for further growth and success.” Mike Wright will be taking over from Dave Cruickshank, who is stepping down to explore new ventures beyond the company.
Dave played a crucial role in leading The Atcore Group through a transformative era of expansion and was key in overseeing the company’s recent acquisition by Travelsoft. Under Wright’s leadership, The Atcore Group is committed to continuing its mission of delivering cutting-edge travel technology solutions. The company eagerly anticipates the innovations and progress that lie ahead with Wright at the helm.
