Ex-Virgin Media Director to Lead Zen Internet’s Retail Division

Rochdale-based broadband ISP Zen Internet has today announced the appointment of Georgina Lord to be the new Managing Director of their consumer facing Retail division, which forms part of the UK provider’s on-going efforts to take on the “big four” (BT, Sky Broadband, TalkTalk and Virgin Media).

Lord, who previously spent a decade at Virgin Media Business (i.e. holding various roles including Sales Director and Head of Department Enterprise North Field Sales etc.), joins Zen from her last role as Director of Sales, Marketing & Operations at Intercity Technology.

She will now be responsible for leading the company’s largest division, which has an annual turnover of £37m. As part of that she’ll be tasked with growing Zen’s existing residential and small business customer base “exponentially,” while continuing to deliver good customer service and reliability.

Paul Stobart, CEO of Zen Internet, said:

“Georgina joins Zen with a wealth of industry knowledge and experience, and we are delighted to have her on board as our MD of Retail.

We have big ambitions and believe that with Georgina’s leadership style backed by our robust business strategy and investment plans that we have the catalysts in place to really accelerate our plans and deliver a service wrap that is unique in our industry – putting our customer at the heart of everything we do.

We’ve no doubt Georgina will fit right in with our people-first culture here at Zen and look forward to taking on the big players in our industry as we move towards 2020 and beyond.”

End.
