Experienced entrepreneur Frazer Durris has joined BusinessCloud as non-executive chairman.

Durris previously founded and exited Lancashire-based energy specialist Businesswise Solutions.

Durris has been advising BusinessCloud’s co-owners Jonathan Symcox and Chris Maguire on an unofficial basis for a year but has agreed to take on a more formal role as non-executive chairman.

He said: “BusinessCloud is a hugely respected name in the media landscape and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the business in an unofficial role over the last 12 months.

“Highlights have included moving into their first office, making their first hire and launching Northern Leaders.

“Jon and Chris have got ambitious growth plans so it seemed like the perfect time to formalise our arrangement by becoming non-executive chairman.”
