CARDIFF, Wales, March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tracesmart, the Cardiff-based consumer intelligence specialist, has announced the recent appointment of a Client Relationship Manager.

After considerable growth within the life and pensions sector, Tracesmart promoted Catherine Dunn to this recently created position. Dunn, who has been with Tracesmart for two years, has brought a wealth of experience within the financial services industry to the company, which has given her a good grounding in the compliant nature of the life and pensions sector.

Tracesmart's online solutions - Cleanse, Trace, Existence and ID - are utilised by pension schemes to ensure their member records are highly accurate and compliant with The Pensions Regulator's record-keeping guidelines. With the 2012 Pensions Reform approaching, schemes' data is facing increasing scrutiny to ensure high accuracy of common data. This impending reform has helped to bolster Tracesmart's roster of life and pensions clients, and the new role is crucial to the company's development within the industry.

Mike Trezise, Tracesmart's Managing Director, commented on Catherine Dunn's recent promotion:

"I am delighted that Catherine has decided to take on this new role. Her analytical skills, commitment to the company and involvement in developing new products has proved invaluable to Tracesmart. I wish her every success in this new position, and believe that she will help strengthen our place within the pensions sector."

The recent promotion of Dunn highlights Tracesmart's rapid growth, which has seen it expand its workforce and relocate to larger premises in Cardiff Bay. The company's strategy has clearly been a huge success; it has strengthened its position in the marketplace and added to its impressive portfolio of clients. Tracesmart's achievements have also been accredited in the recent Fast Growth 50 list, which saw the company secure an impressive position within Wales's top fastest growing companies.
