Tim Creswick Departs as CEO and Founder of London Full Fibre ISP Vorboss
London-focused ISP Vorboss, which has built and operates a 100Gbps speed fibre optic network for businesses in the UK’s capital city, has this afternoon informed ISPreview that long-serving company Founder and CEO, Tim Creswick, will be stepping down from the role after 19 long years.
Just to recap. The operator has so far completed the deployment of a 700km long dedicated point-to-point fibre optic network across Central London (covering most of zones 1 and 2), which we’re told is enough to connect all commercial buildings in the area to their direct internet access and Ethernet network.
Tim has naturally overseen all of this and so deserves plenty of credit for shepherding Vorboss over all these years. The company is now said to be entering its “next phase of growth” on their mission to deliver better connectivity and services for London businesses.

However, alongside this new phase comes a change of leadership, with Tim Creswick stepping down as CEO, and Rhod Morgan and David Gilbey co-leading the business moving forward.
Adam Dunlop, Vorboss Chair, said:
“Vorboss is built on strong foundations – an exceptional team, a world-class network, loyal customers, and a clear purpose: to deliver better connectivity for London’s businesses. This is not a common combination, Vorboss has something unique. The strategy, team and investor support we have in place puts us in a great position to power the business into its next phase of growth.”
The provider, while paying tribute to Tim’s “vision, leadership and drive“, added that they were looking forward to continuing to work with their investors to deliver the company’s long-term vision.

I wonder if this was the barrier to bringing Vorboss into the all points fibre family now removed ?
Don’t see APFN’s (current) strategy and direction aligning with Vorboss’s.
And another CEO bites the dust. Must be time of the year.
Internal politics again.
Platform development that costs an arm and a leg with no result benefits probably was the final straw.
Still a shame though.
Another loss this time £39M
Why are all the CEOs bolting from the companies they built and loved, maybe the accounts have took them out for a meal.
