Mr Petie said: “It has been a great privilege to serve on and lead Indue’s Board over the past decade. I am retiring in accordance with the Company’s tenure policy and I am pleased to report that our succession planning has proceeded smoothly, and will culminate in an orderly transition to Robin Burns, who knows Indue well and is a very experienced Director.”

“Now at the end of my tenure, I am confident Indue’s sharpened strategic focus and forward-thinking will continue to see the Company go from strength to strength.”

Mr Burns brings deep financial services industry expertise and experience to Indue and is well equipped to continue to lead the business through the fast-paced and ever-changing payments industry.

“Industry change provides significant opportunity for Indue. Digital technology in particular is driving the need for extensive product re-investment into the future and we are well placed to continue to provide new and effective business solutions to our customers. I look forward to working with the Board and our strong management team to carry forward the Company’s focused strategic development initiatives and impressive operational capability,” Mr Burns said.
