Azets appoints new group chief information officer

Azets has announced the appointment of technology executive Trevor Attridge as its new group chief information officer, with the role taking effect ahead of a planned handover early next year. 

Attridge, an experienced technology and transformation leader, previously served as global chief information officer at veterinary healthcare group IVC Evidensia, where he oversaw enterprise technology strategy and operations across more than 20 countries.

In his new role he will join the executive committee and lead the firm’s international technology function. The brief includes developing Azets’ digital services and strengthening the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation.

Attridge will work with interim group chief information officer Paul Gilford to complete a transition due to conclude on 23 January 2026.

Chris Horne, group chief executive of Azets, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Trevor to Azets as our new group CIO. His track record delivering enterprise-wide technology and digital transformation across global organisations is world-class, and his leadership will be instrumental as we continue strengthening our digital services, enhancing the colleague experience, and unlocking the full potential of new and emerging technologies.”

Attridge added: “I’m passionate about creating the right conditions for people to thrive, about simplifying complexity, and about applying technology, data and digital capability to drive long-term business growth.”
