Devon tech firm appoints new managing director

Technology firm Timewade has appointed a new managing director as part of a shake-up at the firm.

Jordan Westcott, who joined the Devon company over a decade ago, is set to take the helm in September 2023.

He will succeed Julian Wills, who will move to the role of chief executive.

Jordan joined the company in 2008 at the age of 16 from school as an apprentice engineer.

Over the years, he has gained invaluable experience across various roles. From working on the service desk responding to technical issues, to advising clients as a consultant, Jordan has developed an understanding of every part of the business.

He said: “I am excited to step into the role of managing director. Timewade has been my home since the beginning of my career, and I’ve had the privilege to witness its growth and evolution over the past 15 years. I am looking forward to building on our legacy of exceptional client service, innovation, and a vibrant company culture.”

As operations director since October 2019, Jordan has been instrumental in executing the company’s strategic vision, driving the company’s development strategy and fostering strong customer relationships.

Under his guidance, Timewade has solidified its position as a technology partner for SMEs, serving as a catalyst for their growth and success.

Established in 1984 as Cash Register Services, Timewade originally sold and refurbished cash registers before broadening their offering to technology support and IT solutions.

Last year, Timewade moved into a new head office at Winslade Park in Exeter to support its growing team, and has partnered with Exeter College to encourage young people into the sector.

Timewade currently has two Exeter College apprentices in their team, as part of their dedication to supporting young talent into the growing world of technology.

Julian Wills said: “Watching Jordan’s growth within Timewade has been immensely rewarding. From his beginnings as an apprentice to his pivotal role as operations director, he has consistently demonstrated his unwavering commitment to our company’s values and goals. I am confident that his passion and dedication will lead Timewade to new heights.”

Jordan’s promotion comes as Timewade continues to expand its services in the technology landscape, working with organisations in the South West and beyond to provide proactive technology support.
