Alternative rural broadband ISP Airband<\/a>, which has deployed their gigabit-speed capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks to cover parts of Wales and South West England, has today announced that the company’s existing Managing Director, Kashif Rahman, has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) – effective immediately.<\/p>\n

The internet provider has just gone through a period of restructuring, which resulted in a fair few jobs losses and a switch to focus more on commercialising their existing network (as opposed to new infrastructure build). The company has also been without a full CEO since former boss and founder, Redmond Peel<\/strong>, stood down from the role in May 2024 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Airband<\/a> is backed by investor abrdn<\/strong>, which has put over \u00a3200m into growing the business.<\/div>\n

Kashif has thus been one of the main driving forces behind Airband<\/a>\u2019s progress over the last 18-months in his role as MD, overseeing the introduction of innovative new technologies (e.g. Tarana\u2019s next-gen gigabit wireless upgrade<\/a>) that have strengthened their service offerings and helping to keep the business moving forward (annual results<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Airband’s investors Aberdeen have similarly expressed full confidence in Rahman\u2019s leadership. Suffice to say, it’s not a surprise to see him being promoting to the position of CEO.<\/p>\n

Kashif Rahman said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am honoured to take on the role of CEO at such an important time in Airband\u2019s journey. We have a clear mission: to connect communities that have been left behind by traditional broadband rollouts. I am excited to build on our strong foundations, accelerate our growth, and continue delivering real value for our customers, partners and the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In terms of the provider\u2019s current network reach, Airband previously said that their broadband network now spanned \u201cmore than 440,000 premises in over 200 communities across 7 counties<\/em>\u201c (here<\/a>), which we were told breaks down as being 175,000 premises via \u201cfibre<\/em>\u201d (FTTP<\/a>) and 265,000 premises via wireless (FWA) \u2013 all Ready for Service. The also informed ISPreview that they expected to end 2025 with 30,000 customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
