Broadway Partners Shakes Up UK Management Ahead of FTTP Rollout
Broadway Partners (ISP Broadway Broadband) has today appointed a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Delivery Director to help overseen their fibre build, which aims to cover 250,000 premises across rural Wales and Scotland with a gigabit broadband (FTTP) network by around 2028.
The latest change in Broadway’s senior leadership follows shortly after the company appointed a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in the shape of industry veteran Steve Haines (here). All of this comes after Downing LLP, a London-based sustainable investment manager, announced their intention in October 2021 to invest £145 million into Broadway (here).
As for today’s appointments. Vincent Sagua joins as CFO and Pete Buckle joins as COO, while Dave Carter will become their new Chief Delivery Director (CDD). Vincent brings his experience in senior finance roles at Yahlive, BT and UPC Cablecom (Liberty Global). Pete brings more than 35 years of UK and global telecoms experience, including as Engineering Services Director at BT Networks.

Finally, Dave brings over 20 years of experience in the telecoms industry, including at Virgin Media and Cityfibre, and has been instrumental in leading the delivery of builds along the extensive Broadway network.
Steve Haines, CEO of Broadway Partners, said:
“Working alongside a team that has the same vision for Broadway makes staying focused on our 250,000 rural connections promise and delivery achievable, and we are confident we can deliver connectivity to some of those communities in the hardest to reach locations.
The appointment of Vincent, Pete and Dave is a huge boost for Broadway and its senior leadership team, as we continue our aim to be a reliable and dependable provider in the industry. Their expertise and skills are integral to helping drive us forward and deliver on our promises to our customers across Wales and Scotland.”
Broadway is already involved in various deployments to rural communities across different parts of Wales and Scotland, although the new product will be much more significant in scale than anything they’ve done before. But for now we’re still awaiting some solid details on their future rollout plan.

I remember surveying this little village a few years back for OR and Broadway were just installing everything.
Loverly little place
They haven’t fully completed any of their Pembrokeshire villages, all in various states of flux.
Sounds like a train wreck, throwing ex BT/Virgin people who have constantly ignored and let down rural communities for over a decade. You can’t even find any project information on their site let alone an estimated date….
Perhaps they are too busy shaking up their management to deal with problems in their network. 2 years on it is not worth abandoning a good OR 10Mbps connection for.
