Gamma promotes deputy to full CEO position

Communications-as-a-service provider Gamma announced the appointment of Andrew Belshaw as its new chief executive officer on Wednesday, with immediate effect.

The AIM-traded firm said Belshaw’s appointment followed a “thorough” recruitment process involving external consultants.

Belshaw was appointed as its chief financial officer at its initial public offering in 2014, and held that position through a period of “substantial growth” 3 May this year.

At that point he became deputy CEO, and then interim CEO in July.

“I am pleased to be able to announce the appointment of Andrew as chief executive,” said chair Richard Last.

“There are exciting opportunities ahead for Gamma, and Andrew, with the support of the Gamma leadership team and the board, is well placed to ensure that we capitalise upon them.

“The board and wider leadership team are looking forward to working with Andrew as chief executive.”

At 1150 GMT, shares in Gamma Communications were flat at 1,100p.
