Alternative internet provider Airband<\/a>, which has built a mixed Full Fibre (FTTP<\/a>) and Fixed Wireless (FWA) broadband network across rural parts of England and North Wales, has followed up the recent departure of their CEO (here<\/a>) and confirmation of further redundancies (here<\/a>) by announcing that Paula Strickland has been appointed to the role of Chief Financial Officer.<\/p>\n

So far as we can recall, Jeffrey Kriek held the role of CFO between 2020 and 2024, before moving on to take a similar role at residential EV charging firm Roam. The new CFO, Paula Strickland, is said to have extensive financial leadership experience, including within the telecommunications sector, with a “strong track record of supporting businesses to strengthen performance, improve financial discipline and deliver sustainable growth<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

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

Airband<\/a> has previously stated that their network currently spans a total of \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 FWA (Ready for Service). But they\u2019ve also recently expanded FTTP<\/a> into off-net areas by partnering with Openreach<\/a> (here<\/a>) and have a total of 30,000 customers.<\/p>\n

Jarlath Finnegan, Executive Chairman of Airband<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to welcome Paula to Airband. Her experience in financial leadership and operational performance will be important as we continue to focus on building a disciplined, sustainable and profitable business. Her appointment reflects the next phase of the business, where strong financial leadership is key to supporting consistent delivery and long-term success.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
