Cloud solutions provider company FluidOne has announced the appointment of Neil Kay as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Graham Dickie will be stepping down from the role having completed the financial restructuring required, and contributing significantly to the business through a challenging trading environment.
During Graham’s tenure, FluidOne has been guided through a demanding period with strong execution and disciplined cost control, closing FY26 on budget. Growth is increasingly concentrated in higher value service lines, most notably Cyber Security, where earlier investment is now driving sustained revenue momentum and a growing share of new business wins. Looking ahead into FY27, the focus shifts decisively to scaling organic growth, with management prioritising further investment in core platforms and systems, alongside the buildout of a more scalable, data-driven new business sales and marketing engine.
Paul Kahn, CEO of FluidOne, in thanking Dickie for his services and welcoming Kay, has commented:
“Graham has helped steer FluidOne through a genuinely challenging period with discipline, clarity and a strong grip on execution. Closing FY26 on budget is testament to that focus, and we are grateful for the impact he has made across the Group. As we move into FY27, our priorities are clear: accelerate organic growth, continue to shift the mix towards higher value services, and invest in the platforms, systems and go to market engine that will help us scale. Neil joins us at exactly the right time to support this reset and acceleration phase, and I’m delighted to welcome him to the team.”
Graham Dickie, outgoing CFO, said:
“It has been a privilege to support FluidOne through a pivotal period. I’m proud of what the team has achieved together and the foundations now in place for the next phase of growth. I’m leaving with enormous respect for the people and the business, and I wish Paul and the wider leadership team every success as they accelerate into FY27.”
Next growth phase
Neil Kay joins FluidOne with a background spanning corporate development and finance, and with over 25 years business services experience across property and IT (including EDS, now DXC Technology). Neil has been involved in the successful sale of three companies, brings private equity experience, and is known for enjoying the challenge of building and scaling businesses.
Incoming CFO, Neil Kay, commented:
“FluidOne has built a strong platform and a compelling portfolio in secure connected cloud, with clear momentum in higher value services such as cyber security. I’m excited to be joining at this point in the journey and to work alongside Paul and the leadership team as we sharpen execution, invest in scalable foundations, and accelerate organic growth.”
FluidOne’s commitment to customer service, operational excellence, and building long-term partnerships remains unchanged as the company progresses on its ambitious growth plans.
