Alternative network operator Freedom Fibre, which has built a Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network that it wholesales out to UK ISPs across the North West and West Midlands of England, have today appointed Lindsey Sutherland to be their new Chief Operations Officer (COO). This will become effective from 4th March 2025.
Lindsey is a former military veteran with 30 years of experience, most of which has been spent in engineering and IT roles. He originally founded a data systems business to underpin transformation work in industry, including NHS acute hospitals and military shipbuilding. Lindsey then headed up the technology team at CommunityFibre where he led the integration of a strategic acquisition and was CTO of the rapidly growing SaaS VOIP provider Nebula.
Nathan Vautier, CEO of Freedom Fibre, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Lindsey to our leadership team. His experience and vision align perfectly with our ambitions for the future of Freedom Fibre.”
