Buchanan to help build Commsworld’s UK growth – Daily Business

Melony Buchanan: company first

Commsworld, one of the UK’s largest independent network providers, has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Melony Buchanan as its first chief revenue officer.

Ms Buchanan will be a key figure in the Edinburgh-headquartered company’s UK-wide growth plan.

Most recently at Capita, she led strategy and delivery across its public sector portfolio, having previously overseen the highly-successful Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN) as managing director. 

She said: “I believe that Commsworld is uniquely positioned to support the public and private sector in tackling some of the biggest UK challenges.

“These include safer social housing, digital exclusion, public service re-design, and business resilience – not because of our national infrastructure and valued propositions, but because we place customers at the heart of what we do, delivering affordable, reliable connectivity.”

Steve Langmead, chief executive, said: “We have achieved so much over the last few years, especially in terms of long-term public sector contracts, doubling our turnover in five years from £20m to £40m.

“I now want Commsworld to more than double that again over the next five years. Melony will be a very important driving force behind ensuring we continue to exceed customer needs in a world of ever-increasing demand for reliable, resilient and efficient outcome-based connectivity across the UK.”
