We are very pleased to welcome Barney to the board at an exciting time in Journeo's development and look forward to the valuable input he will be able to make as we progress our growth strategy."

Barnaby Kent commented: "Joining the Journeo Board is a great opportunity to assist an exciting and growing organisation, which has already demonstrated strong organic growth coupled with targeted acquisitions.
