Following the acquisition of 1st Touch by Aareon in 2012, the two companies finally merged their operations in July 2017.
1st Touch remains as a legal entity and is solely focused on the development and support of mobile technologies, while its consulting, sales, marketing and administrative operations have been integrated into Aareon UK.
At the same time, Aareon has appointed former Home Office finance director Nigel Rees as one of its joint managing directors, alongside Stephen Makin. Greg Johns, the former managing director of 1st Touch, is now group product portfolio manager.
