CHP Consulting has moved into the second phase of its current re-organisation. Driven by significant global growth over the last few years coupled with the successful launch of its renowned ALFA v5 software suite, the company is using management changes as a platform for growth.

Andrew Page has become the company’s chief executive officer with responsibility for all European operations - in addition to responsibility for all commercial relationships and client support.

Ian Hargrave has become chief financial officer. As well as his finance and infrastructure responsibilities, Hargrave has gained extended responsibility for CHP Consulting’s operations in Australia and the US – the latter having come available with the recent retirement of Justin Cooper (albeit with Cooper’s retention of significant investment in the business).

Andrew Denton has been appointed chief operating officer with responsibility for the ALFA product in addition to his global sales and marketing brief.

Page told Asset Finance International that the second phase of re-organisation will proceed with a spirit and culture of entrepreneurship for which the company is renowned. “It will take the company on upwards,” he said, “and achieve the sales-led growth that is part of our corporate plan. It will also be a conduit to reward our management team and allow them to grow”.

Denton stressed that the re-organisation is part of the company’s growth plans. He added that the changes have also been fuelled by the immense success of ALFA v5 since its launch last year, and the requirement for CHP Consulting to maintain its dominant position in the marketplace.

“This comes,” he said, “alongside the company’s culture of constant improvement. We never underestimate the competition and constantly challenge the way we do things. The need to strive for quality is embedded within our culture.”

CHP Consulting is making its corporate changes as the global economy shows distinct signs of recovery. It sends out a clear message to both current clients and prospects – the company’s target is to extend its international presence and to be the first-choice asset finance software system company globally.
