Gamma Communications plc
Appointment of Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Financial
Officer
Broadening of executive management team
Gamma Communications plc ("Gamma" or the "Group"), a leading
provider of Unified Communications as a Service ("UCaaS") to the
business markets in the UK, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands, is
pleased to announce two appointments which strengthen and broaden
the capacity of the executive management team. These two
appointments further support the executive management team in the
ongoing successful delivery of Gamma's growth strategy.
Andrew Belshaw, who has been Chief Financial Officer since
Gamma's IPO in 2014, will be appointed Deputy Chief Executive, and
will continue to report to Andrew Taylor and be a member of Gamma's
Board of Directors. In this role, Andrew will take on a range of
strategic and operational responsibilities to support the
development and growth of the Group. These responsibilities will
include overseeing aspects of product management, product
development and operations and the execution of M&A. Andrew
will also oversee Gamma's group people strategy, ensuring that
Gamma attracts and retains great talent while continuing to be a
great place to work.
Taking over from Andrew Belshaw, William (Bill) Castell has been
appointed Chief Financial Officer. Bill will report to Andrew
Taylor, and it is expected that he will join the Company and the
Board of Directors in May 2022. Bill is currently Chief Financial
Officer at OVO Energy, the technology-led green energy business.
Before joining OVO Energy in 2020, Bill spent three years at Virgin
Media which he joined as Deputy Chief Financial Officer and later
became acting Chief Financial Officer. From 2005 to 2017, Bill was
at Barclays Bank where he held a number of senior finance roles
including Chief Financial Officer at Barclays Corporate Bank and
Chief Financial Officer of Barclaycard Europe.
Andrew Belshaw's move to Deputy Chief Executive will take place
when Bill joins the Company.
Richard Last, Chairman, commented:
"The Board is pleased to announce these two key appointments
which reiterate our focus on developing our senior leadership
capacity, ensuring that we capitalise on Gamma's significant growth
opportunities."
Andrew Taylor, Chief Executive added:
"Strengthening the scope and capacity of our management team is
an important part of our five-year growth strategy; and I am
absolutely delighted that we have successfully attracted someone of
Bill's quality and experience to take over from Andrew Belshaw as
our CFO.
"The growth opportunities for Gamma are significant and in
addition to doing a brilliant job as our CFO, Andrew has played a
key role in both the development and operational implementation of
our strategy. The appointment of Bill will allow Andrew to commit
all of his time to further developing and executing our immediate
and longer-term plans. This is a much-deserved promotion, and I am
personally looking forward to working with Andrew in his new
role."
