Accesso Technology Group (AIM:ACSO), the attraction ticketing and technology company, has appointed Lee Cowie as Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 May, meanwhile, Steve Brown has stepped down.

Mr Cowie joined accesso in January 2025 as Chief Operating Officer under a structured succession plan and brings technology leadership experience including a previous role as Chief Technology Officer at Merlin Entertainments, where he led technology across more than 125 attractions in 28 countries, and over the past year has led the operational execution of accesso's 2026 priorities including commercial transformation, expansion of its payments business and its AI strategy.

Steve Brown, who the Board says helped grow accesso into a diversified global technology platform over nearly two decades, has stepped down from the Board but will remain available to support the transition.

"Lee brings deep experience in attractions technology, a strong track record of operational leadership and a clear understanding of the opportunity ahead for this business," Bill Russell, Non‑Executive Chairman, said.

Mr Cowie will lead the delivery of the Group's 2026 priorities and the integration of recent additions such as accesso Intelligence.
