In a hotly contested field, nominated CEOs include: Cas Paton, of OnBuy, David Clements of FUTURE Designs, and Eleanor Weaver from Luminance. This deservedly puts Derek in fantastic company, particularly within the technology industry.

“I’m delighted to be shortlisted for this award. At Brightpearl, we have continuously focused on driving the success of our retail operating system through a customer-centric approach and encouraging a strong team culture that our customers can depend on.
“With a single-minded focus on excellence, we’ve been able to grow our footprint, client base, and revenue. None of this would have been possible without the incredible team at Brightpearl, so this nomination is a testament to their hard work and brilliance.”
Nick Shaw, CRO at Brightpearl, added:
“Since Derek became CEO of Brightpearl back in 2016, his drive, vision and leadership has seen Brightpearl go from strength to strength. We’re now a major player in the retail technology category, and backed by Sage.
