Brereton, has been named a finalist in Ernst & Young's

"On behalf of our entire team here at Tecsys, it is a privilege
to be recognized as a finalist for this award," said Brereton.
"Much has changed in the realm of supply chain technology since
joining Tecsys at it's inception with my brother some 35

Tecsys—some of them here from the very beginning—are fundamental to
its success. Equipping good companies to do great things is a
source of pride that I share with our incredible team across

this is an honour I share with them."
