Rural UK Broadband ISP Quickline Appoints New Chief Commercial Officer

Alternative provider Quickline, which is building a mix of full fibre (FTTP) and fixed wireless (FWA) broadband networks across rural parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England (3-Year Rollout Plan), has today continued their recent changes in senior leadership (here) by appointing Becki Smith as their new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).

Becki is said to have held senior leadership positions at a number of major UK brands including Three UK, TalkTalk and the N Brown Group. Her career spans both start-up and large-scale environments, from scaling Boohoo’s international eCommerce operations to leading integration and growth strategies for multimillion and multibillion-pound organisations.

In her new role, Becki will lead the company’s sales, marketing and customer success teams. Quickline is currently aiming to extend gigabit-capable broadband to a further 360,000 UK premises across thousands of rural communities (roughly 170k via publicly funded projects and almost 200k from commercial builds) and the provider hopes to end 2025 with a total of 200,000 premises passed.

Mark Bowden, Quickline’s New CEO, said:

“Becki’s appointment marks an important milestone in Quickline’s next phase of growth.

She brings outstanding commercial acumen, proven leadership and a deep understanding of customer-focused transformation.

Her experience will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our brand, attract more customers, and expand our reach across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.”
