Manchester HR Tech Firm Symatrix Makes Senior Appointment to Drive Continued Fast-Paced Growth

Courquin appointment will fuel expansion of company’s consulting, managed services and outsourcing services

Symatrix, a Manchester-based provider of end-to-end managed services for Human Capital Management (HCM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, has appointed Oracle specialist, Charles Courquin, the former IBM and Oracle executive, as its new sales director to fuel major business growth.

Courquin will focus on powering continued growth across all three of Symatrix’ core service areas: consulting; managed services and fully managed payroll outsourcing. Supported by a multi-disciplined sales and marketing team, he plans to expand existing client contracts as well as winning new business.

Drawing on his background managing alliances and channel sales, Courquin also plans to deliver business expansion for Symatrix through end-to-end partnership deals that enable the company to access more clients while drawing on new skillsets and resource.

In all, Courquin brings 30 years’ experience in technology and application sales to his new role. Before joining Symatrix he was executive partner, and Oracle Practice Leader at IBM Global Services. Key successes include securing the digital transformation programme of the NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR), believed to be among the largest HR/Payroll systems in the world, supporting 1.4 million employees. He also led the executive relationship for the delivery of the Contracting, Procurement & Finance Programme, among the largest business change programmes across the Ministry of Defence (MoD). During his time at IBM, Courquin was also a strategic advisor to a government Minister in Canada to develop a response to a government payroll project.

Courquin said “Symatrix has been extremely successful in building out existing business and winning new contracts. I see great opportunities to build on that and escalate growth still further across our key service areas of consulting, managed services and outsourcing. My background and experience in technology and application sales as well as in running major transformation programmes, especially in public sector, are ideally suited to this role. I’m really looking forward to making this growth happen.”

Chris Brooks, Managing Director, Symatrix, said: “We are delighted to have Charles on board. He has extensive experience and expertise in key areas of our offerings like HCM, ERP and payroll and in winning large-scale business transformation programmes that deliver growth and ongoing business success. 2020 has been a year of dynamic growth for Symatrix, especially in the public sector space and Charles’s significant appointment will enable us to escalate this even further in the months and years to come.”
