Spanish Point Technologies Appoints New Leadership Amid Growth

Software company Spanish Point Technologies has made two key appointments: Brian Caulfield as chair and Simon Dennett as chief product officer, following a strategic investment by Apiary Capital earlier this year. The investment from Apiary Capital marks the first external funding for Spanish Point Technologies after 20 years of self-funded growth.

The company is stepping up its UK expansion efforts and investing in its proprietary products and intellectual property. Additionally, Co-founder and CEO John Corley has been named a finalist in the Established Entrepreneur category of the 2026 EY Entrepreneur of the Year programme.

Over the past year, Spanish Point Technologies has seen significant growth, doubling its workforce to 120 people since 2023. The company’s success has earned it a spot in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, recognizing its achievements in scaling its Matching Engine technology solution. Annual revenues have increased by more than 163% over the past four years, reaching €25.7 million in the last financial year.
