James Patrick Galleher was Chief Operating Officer, North America, since January 2000 and was appointed to the Board in January 2004. He has been instrumental in the development of the PrecisionIR suite of products and more recently has lead the development of our fast growing web events business.

In Patrick Galleher, we are fortunate to have someone who has that knowledge. He will continue to benefit from the guidance and advice of Peter Wakeham. I have stepped down from my role as Chairman as I firmly believe that in Peter and Patrick we have a powerful team to provide us with real leadership to take us forward."
