London ISP Community Fibre Appoints Ex-Hyperoptic Man as CFO

London-focused broadband ISP CommunityFibre (CF), which has already built to 500,000 premises with their 3Gbps Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network (aiming for 2.2 million by the end of 2024), has today appointed Hyperoptic’s former finance chief – Peter White – to be its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

The announcement comes after the board of CF revealed that Jonathan Apps, their existing CFO, had decided to leave the provider to “pursue other opportunities”, having supported the company in becoming the largest Alternative Network (AltNet) in London (although G.Network and Hyperoptic aren’t far behind) and securing a £100m accordion funding facility.

By comparison, Jonathan’s replacement, Peter White, most recently held the position of CFO at Dense Air and, prior to that, he held the same role Hyperoptic, whilst earlier in his career he was Corporate Finance Director at Three UK. In addition, he has held CFO roles at a number of private equity backed organisations including Workshare, Lumata and České Radiokomunikace a.s. Peter is qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PwC.

Martin Harriman, Chairman of the Remco of Community Fibre, said:

“We would like to thank Jonathan for his great contribution to the company and welcome Peter to Community Fibre, which is rapidly becoming the most successful Altnet in London”.

End.
