“Arkivum is such a fascinating company to join, their background and success in preservation across other sectors is something that the life sciences industry has been missing for many years now.

The move to digital solutions has allowed for so many advancements to be realised, however, this has also created problems for organisations regarding the need to retain data for long periods of time.

Arkivum is offering the industry a chance to ensure information is remains preserved, accessible and discoverable for many years to come. The strides they have taken to ensure they offer a validated and quality solution shows the focus Arkivum is giving to this industry, and I am excited to be part of the company and to be part of what comes next.”

Welcoming Martin and Rob to the team, Arkivum CEO, Chris Sigley said: “The Arkivum team is growing, and I’m delighted that Martin and Rob have joined us. Both will have a big role to play in our continued success as we embark on the next phase of our ambitious and exciting plans for Arkivum.

Next year will see our teams continue to drive on the innovation and acceleration we’ve witnessed this year and we hope for many more exciting announcements over the coming months.”
