Rural UK ISP Voneus Boosts B2B Plans with New Appointments

Fixed wireless and fibre optic broadband ISP Voneus has moved to develop their business-to-business products by appointing two new business development managers – Simon Tucker and Robin Craven-Griffiths.

Simon will be responsible for growing the provider’s commercial offering, which includes the provision of specialist network infrastructures and managed services to large, complex businesses situated in remote locations (e.g. agribusinesses, construction, renewables, oil & gas and aerospace sectors etc.). He joins Voneus from the UK and Irish media company Wireless Group, where he headed up business development.

Meanwhile Robin, who is ex-Army, will specialise in developing bespoke solutions for leisure organisations – holiday parks, hospitality businesses, and other attractions based in rural UK locations – to enable them to provide reliable, Superfast broadband to their many visitors. He joins the company following a 6 year stint in consultancy, both in the telecoms and the solar energy sectors.

Sue Barnes, CCO Voneus, said:

“Many of the country’s most successful businesses are situated in what have traditionally been considered ‘off grid’ locations. Where these companies are based shouldn’t be a hindrance to their ability to compete but, all too often, it is – simply because of a lack of decent telecoms options.

Simon and Robin’s combined experience – together with Voneus’ unwavering focus on building bespoke networks for hard-to-reach locations – will be key as we attempt to redress this imbalance, by rolling out business-grade networking services to rural-based organisations. We’re delighted to have them on the team.”
