Chris Tossell
Commercial Director
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1980 and spent some time with KPMG before moving into industry as Finance Director of a manufacturing company. In the late 1980’s I met Alistair O’Reilly, our Group MD, and was involved in the early years of Access Accounting through to 1995. I made a decision to join RM Plc, one of the largest education IT vendors in the world, and spent time in Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and the USA opening and building new subsidiaries for them. However when the opportunity came to rejoin Access as Commercial Director responsible for acquisitions I jumped at the chance and it has been a homecoming. I am looking forward to working with the ATG Board to realise the Group’s goals to double turnover and profitability by 2010.
Married with four grown-up children, we enjoy just ‘getting away from it all’ which we do whenever we can, subject to the usual time constraints as my wife also has her own business which, of course, uses software from Access Accounting!
