London, 16 February 2017: Proxama PLC (AIM:PROX), the mobile commerce company specialising in payments and proximity marketing, announces the immediate appointment of Kelvin Harrison as Non-Executive Chairman, with David Bailey moving to Deputy Chairman.

"Kelvin joins us at an exciting time for both mobile proximity marketing and for Proxama. The company proposition is clear, we identify a mobile phone's proximity to a precise location and trigger a relevant action such as a marketing message, capturing anonymised data in the process to enable retargeting and attribution. We believe there is a huge opportunity to grow the proximity marketing business over the coming years and are excited to welcome Kelvin, who brings with him a wealth of experience."

"I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank David Bailey for his support."

Commenting on his appointment as Non-Executive Chairman, Kelvin Harrison said,

"I am delighted to be joining Proxama. The company aims to complete the disposal of the Digital Payments Division and is well positioned for significant growth in its Proximity Marketing business.  I aim to assist Proxama in accelerating its strategy to drive revenue growth by increasing the reach of its proximity marketing network, both in London and throughout the rest of the UK and internationally. We will also aim to dramatically expand the reach of our clients that utilise Proxama technology and derive material revenues from our data business, by providing anonymised location intelligence to selected partners."
