Brian Gold Appointment as MD at Jotika Software
20th January 2015

Jotika Software is delighted to announce that Brian Gold has now officially taken the position of Managing Director.

Former MD and father John Gold, is now becoming Technical Director and focusing his attentions on new technology and consultancy for customers on matters of manufacturing work flow and glass waste reduction.

Brian has been working for the company for 13 years, now alongside his father, sister Alicia and wife Trinny. He explains the reasons for the change:

“Internally there will not be a great deal of change for me, as I have been acting MD for several years now. The company has been through many changes over this period. We have taken on more staff, increased our customer base and expanded into new markets overseas. These are excellent times for Jotika, our team is strong and our software is making a real difference for our customers. There are some very exciting projects on the horizon, which will take our software to the next level.”

John Gold has been in the glass industry for 33 years and MD of Jotika for 23 years. He believes the time is right for the change:

“I have 100% confidence in Brian. He has learned every aspect of Jotika from sales and support to product development, becoming an accomplished programmer and GUI designer - responsible for designing products like our Production Manager and Delivery Management System. Brian has taken the business forward, whilst maintaining our commitment to customer service and product development.

It is now time for me to focus on my strengths as a technically minded person. I am also working closely with our latest recruit Mark Clement, to pass on my development responsibilities for our OptimiserX software. Mark developed the interface for the multi positional Hegla ReMaster implementation at Ravensby Glass, and has moved on to become fully involved in our OptimiserX development. This change is such a positive move for Jotika’s future and makes me extremely proud.”
