"A special thank you must go to Fiona Shepherd who founded April Six in the UK over twenty-five years ago and shortly after Fiona joined the MISSION Board she opened offices in the USA to build April Six into the Agency that it is today.

Fiona's drive, commitment and understanding of the technology market is outstanding, she will be an enormous asset to the new Group and we wish her every success in the future.

Thank you, Fiona."
