Sophos Plc, the world leader in network-based anti-virus solutions, continues its rapid growth with the appointment of Mark Forrest as Sales and Marketing Director. Forrest joins Sophos from Smallworld Systems, a leading vendor of Spatial Resource Planning Software, at a time when Sophos's sales figures are soaring.
Forrest brings with him over seventeen years of industry experience, much of it with Digital Equipment Corporation where he rose to become Country Manager for Digital Middle East. He has a proven track record of exceeding sales targets in all his previous positions, more recently establishing Digital Gulf as a start-up operation and successfully creating a platform for growth and profit through Channel sales.

"Sophos Anti-Virus is the product of choice for corporations around the world with its first class virus detection rates and outstanding customer service.
