Lincoln based dealer management systems firm, Gemini Systems has added to it’s growing ranks with the appointment of Anne Dippenaar as Aftersales Manager and Paul Marshall as Software Engineer.

Dipenaar, who has an accountancy background is returning to Gemini after four years away, latterly as Application Consultants Team Lead at ASE Global. Marshall, who also has an accounting background joins Gemini from Qube Global Software where he was an analyst programmer developing the Qube PM property management product.

Talking about the two key hires, Jon Skinner, Gemini’s Director of Business Development told Motor Trade News, “Following another year of unprecedented growth, we recognised the importance of investing heavily in our human resource by bringing in Paul and Anne who have essential skills which allows us to accelerate an ongoing project to deliver more advanced and intuitive accounts functions to our DMS offering. We had been looking for a specific set of skills and, in particular, accountancy knowledge to complement our development and aftersales teams. Much time and resource was spent to acquire the skills of both Anne and Paul. Anne’s experience in project delivery, DMS solutions, accounts and the automotive industry meant she was the obvious choice for our new Aftersales Manager role.

Skinner adds, “Paul was a fantastic find, it is rare to find a senior developer with such ability whom also has a solid understanding of accounting. With both starting at the beginning of January it sets solid foundations for 2017 and our plans to further improve and enhance the financial aspect of our Evolution DX solution.”
