Connexin appoints new MD to boost fibre division

Connexin has appointed Shadi Halliwell as the new MD of its fibre division, as it continues to expand its network nationwide.  

Halliwell brings over 30 years of experience working in the telecoms industry in roles at BT, O2 and Three UK.

She has held the position of Non-Executive Director at Connexin since 2020. She said: “The growth that the business has experienced in the past 12 months is a testament to the hard-working and dedicated team that made it happen. As we enter 2024, we will continue to grow the market.”

Furqan Alamgir, Co-Founder and CEO at Connexin, added: “Her years of experience in the sector make her telco royalty and she has already brought several ideas to the table in her previous role at Connexin.”

Connexin added its 25,000th broadband customer earlier this year and continues to build full fibre in Hull and across the north.
