Andy Lothian and Ross Wilson

Dundee-based digital transformation specialist Vidatec has successfully completed a management buyout from The Insights Group.

Ross Wilson, previously the managing director, now assumes the role of CEO, steering Vidatec towards growth opportunities in the health and wellbeing, tourism, and sustainability sectors.

Vidatec has been part of The Insights Group for seven years, which remains a minority shareholder.



Mr Wilson has built a wealth of experience in commercial and people leadership roles, including as global client director and sales director, and has been with the group for 16 years. In his leadership role for the last six years at Vidatec, he has applied and developed specialist knowledge of the tech sector and is therefore well placed to continue Vidatec’s growth trajectory.

Mr Wilson said: “This is an exciting time as we look to unlock new opportunities for the company’s future growth and to explore the untapped potential outside of, but connected to, The Insights Group structure.

“We remain committed to our clients and employees and look forward to focussing on our next chapter while contributing positively to our purpose; ‘improving people’s experience of life and making a positive impact on the world through technology’.”

As a provider of bespoke software development, Vidatec’s portfolio includes working with companies ranging from Value Retail, Heineken, TUI, NHS and Insights itself, working together to develop industry-leading tech to positively enhance people’s lives.

Insights Group CEO, Andy Lothian, added: “Vidatec has been an important part of The Insights Group for many years. We are delighted to support Ross and the Vidatec team during this new chapter.

“With their outstanding proposition and the experience and skills of the team, I know they will continue to deliver valuable and impactful digital solutions and break new ground in this exciting time of digital innovation.”
