Retail and hospitality technology provider CBE has announced a brace of promotions at the firm.

The Irish-based company, which is one of Europe’s largest electronic point-of-sale providers and has its UK headquarters in Chellaston, has promoted Clive Hughes to the position of UK director.

Clive, a native of Enniscrone, in Ireland, originally joined CBE in 2006 as a systems engineer, deploying, supporting, and training customers on the firm’s technology.

In 2014, he moved to the UK, taking on the role of business development manager, overseeing CBE’s UK customer base grow to over 1,300 sites across all major fuel brands and symbol groups.

2020 saw the introduction of CBE’s innovative fuel on self-checkout solution, which Clive has been key to delivering into the marketplace.

CBE has also announced the appointment of MJ Cleary as its new product manager.

MJ joined CBE in 2016 and has worked in several roles within the company during that time.

Headquartered in Claremorris, in County Mayo, CBE was founded by Gerard Concannon and his wife Catherine in 1980.
