Andrew said: "This is a very exciting time for Tibus as we continue to stimulate our international growth which includes Europe, Australia and the Far East. I look forward to advising our clients on Internet-related technology, including some of the UK and Ireland's largest brands in media, sport and finance."

Nigel Robbins, Group Commercial Director, UTV Media plc commented: "Tibus is one of the most respected digital infrastructure businesses in the industry. Andrew’s promotion to the role of Managing Director will ensure the business continues to develop globally since we set it up as a separate division earlier this year."
