Richards’ appointment at Canada-based BPS, which has offices in New York and Toronto, follows a recent injection of cash into the company; in early October it announced the receipt of $5m CAD in additional funding from its existing shareholders, including Covington Capital Corporation and Brookfield Technology Fund.
