Chris Bunch appointed new head of NoBlue2

The IT vet joins the company after a few months as CEO of D55

Chris Bunch has become CEO of NoBlue2, after several months as the head of D55 Limited.

“Delighted to have joined NoBlue2 last week,” Bunch announced on LinkedIn.

“This role takes me back to my enterprise software (ERP) roots, but with a pure cloud play this time around.”

With 21 years of experience in the channel at companies like CTS, Cloudreach and IFS, the new CEO is set to bring more than just a bunch of experience in ERP and cloud consulting.

His skills and experience will aim to strengthen NoBlue2’s partnership with Oracle NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Founded in 2000, Nottingham-based Noblue2 is a NetSuite professional services provider which currently serves around 400 clients across the world.

The company also counts offices in Leicester, London and Madrid.

This move comes as the MSP has accelerated its expansion strategy through acquisitions, including the recent BrightBridge buyout, but also the simultaneous merger with Elevate2 and investment from FPE in July 2023.

“Three great businesses have been combined already in the past year, giving us a great base to build from,” stated Bunch.

Ian Irwin, co-founder of NoBlue2, has transitioned from CEO to CSO.

“We are thrilled to have Chris join the team,” said Irwin.

“His extensive experience in managing and scaling technology businesses will be a key driver in the company’s growth as we continue to offer exceptional service and innovative solutions to our customers.”

“Chris’ appointment to our leadership team is a game-changer for NoBlue2,” said Alex Lester, the other co-founder of NoBlue2.

This recent career change comes just seven months after Bunch was appointed CEO of Manchester-based AWS partner D55, in a “mission to provide complex Amazon Web Services (AWS) modernisation services to UK businesses,” he wrote in a LinkedIn post at the time.
