Contis Group, leading edge prepaid financial services and card processing solutions provider, has signalled its ongoing commitment to investment and expansion with the addition of two senior staff members to its team.

The latest appointments follow hot on the heels of the announcement that former head of Newcastle Card Services and CEO and chairman at Transact Network Limited, Colin Greaves, has joined the Contis team as business development consultant.

In recognition of a decade of valuable sales experience and nearly a year’s service at Contis, Andy Knight has now been promoted to the role of Head of Sales. With broad skills in the international cards, payment processing and programme management fields, Andy will be responsible for the Contis international sales operation from his London base.

Highly experienced MD and operations director Dannie McDonald completes the line-up, joining Contis as business development director. Based in Northampton, Dannie will use her previous experience to focus on developing Contis’ roster of gift and account card partners both nationally and internationally.

Mike Fromant, Managing Director of Contis Group, commented: “This commitment to high-level talent, coming on the back of a three-year programme of investment in prepaid capabilities, sends a clear message to our partners, investors and competitors.

“Contis is a driving force in the prepaid cards market. With an industry-leading team in place we can support our clients to the full and cement our role as the definitive end-to-end card solutions provider in the UK, across Europe and throughout the world.”
