My biggest achievement has been growing the businesses I’m involved with. CPL Software started in 2010 and now serves over 90% of the private Scottish factoring market. Insight Legal started from scratch and now serves in the region of 800 firms across the UK, a journey I have been involved with since 2012.

Brian loves going to festivals and listening to new stuff and old stuff and visits the Hydro as much as he can. He is a keen golfer and once had 5 birdies in one round of golf, not bad for an 18 handicapper – he has never repeated the feat…

Crawford’s role is divided into two segments, clients and products. From a client perspective he looks after all of the commercial activities from sales to account management which includes both existing and prospective clients. From a product perspective he is responsible for the direction of product development including the end user experience and the look and feel of the CPL Software product portfolio. He is not a techy geek and cannot write code and leaves that to the developers!
