TXP (Technology x People), a Birmingham-based systems integrator, has appointed Nick Southwell as its new Group Chief Finance Officer (CFO). The appointment is intended to strengthen the company’s leadership team and support its ongoing growth strategy.
Southwell brings experience in private equity and mergers and acquisitions, alongside a background in scaling finance operations. He previously served as CFO at Activpayroll, a global payroll and mobility company backed by Tenzing, where he oversaw a period of growth in sales and EBITDA. He has also held senior finance roles at Evaluate, a pharmaceutical data provider, and Valueworks, a housing maintenance platform, as well as advising several technology startups.
Commenting on the appointment, Southwell said: “TXP has a unique proposition for the UK mid-market, so I look forward to using my experience to help drive the company’s next stage of growth. It’s an organisation built on excellence, and I look forward to contributing to its continued success.”
TXP, which is backed by Aliter Capital, provides technology consulting, software development, and IT resourcing to mid-market organisations across both public and private sectors. The company supports digital transformation initiatives, including cloud migration, data integration, and AI implementation.
As part of its three-year strategy, TXP plans to double its headcount through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. Its most recent acquisition was Metatech, a modernisation specialist, completed in May 2025.
John Antunes, CEO of TXP, said: “Nick has an outstanding background, so we are delighted to welcome him to TXP. We’re confident his considerable experience will add great value to the board and enable us to accelerate the growth of the business.”
