Payments platform Adyen has announced the appointment of Colin Neil (pictured) to the role of managing director of its UK operations. Neil has been with Adyen since 2018. He previously held the Head of Commercial (UK) role and headed up the company’s office in Manchester. 
He will take over from Myles Dawson who is stepping down after nine years in the post and originally joined Adyen after spending more than nine years with Burberry. There he oversaw transformation projects and helped Burberry create its industry-leading unified customer experience. Before that, Colin spent nine years with international home improvement retailer, Kingfisher.
Colin will be charged with helping Adyen’s UK business navigate the current market disruptions and continue growth in his new role. Recent new customer wins include luxury furniture brand Loaf and Edinburgh-based heritage brand, Hunter, among others.
“I’m relishing the opportunity to take over the UK business of Adyen – it’s an organisation that I’ve loved working at for the past three years. I look forward to leading our amazing team in the UK to help merchants overcome the challenges they face recovering from the pandemic,” said Colin Neil. “It’s an honour to take over from Myles Dawson, who has been such a mainstay of Adyen, founding the UK office nine years ago. The company has continued from strength to strength and now during these challenging times we are looking at how we can be there even more for our customers and their end-users, improving the payments experience across Adyen’s core industries.”
