“We are delighted to secure Chuck as a non-executive director for Intercede. He brings a wealth of experience from senior roles in our critical North American markets. Chuck’s enthusiasm for our prospects mirrors our own and his counsel will be invaluable as Intercede develops its leading software and services for the growing number of opportunities the Group now faces.”

Chuck Pol added;

“Intercede represents the future of digital trust and, in my opinion, the Group’s potential across a range of markets is considerable. I am honoured to be asked to join the board and to be able to offer my guidance to such a strong management team. I very much look forward to working with Intercede in what promises to be an exciting phase in its development.”
