London, UK: 8/03/19: 09.00 GMT – Nuvias, the EMEA fast-growing, high-value distributor, has appointed Simon England as its new CEO. With a remarkable, wide-spanning career in IT Value Added Distribution, England is tasked to take Nuvias into the next phase of its development, leveraging the service-led and solution-rich platform and completing the vision to become Europe’s leading High-Value distributor, accelerating growth and impact for partners.
