Scottish cashback app Swipii has hired a major player in the hospitality tech sector after smashing a fundraising target. Swipii added to its leadership team as it looks to quadruple its business network in 2021 to help local retailers rebuild their businesses post lockdown, it said. Former leader of ResDiary Richard McCandless joins the team as commercial director and "brings a wealth of experience having scaled SaaS restaurant booking platform ResDiary worldwide across thousands of businesses in the hospitality sector". Mr McCandless "will catalyse growth and sales across Swipii, leading the Scottish start up’s commercial efforts and establishing key partnerships", the firm said.
