Alternative Business ISP Metronet UK Gets New CEO – Lee Perkins

Manchester-based ISP Metronet UK, which builds fibre optic and wireless broadband networks for businesses across various parts of the United Kingdom, appears to have had a change of CEO with former boss Elliot Mueller being replaced through the appointment of Lee Perkins.

Apparently Lee has extensive experience within the IT industry and has for nearly 20 years worked in senior commercial roles including at Tech Data UK, Computacenter and IQ-Sys. Most recently he was also acting as EVP and Managing Director of Sage UK & Ireland.

Andy Lockwood, Chairman of Metronet UK, said:

“We are delighted that Lee is joining Metronet (UK). With our ambition to become the UK’s leading alternative-technology network operator and ISP, securing a CEO of Lee’s pedigree to drive the next phase of our growth and development is a reflection both of the scale of our opportunity and of our ambition. We have a successful business here with a great future and I am looking forward to working with Lee to drive the success this company can and will achieve.”

The ISP’s network has only recently also been expanded to parts of Bradford, Wigan and Preston.
