Rochdale-based UK broadband ISP Zen Internet has today appointed Paul North as Managing Director (MD) of its Partner division. At the same time, Stephen Warburton, who previously ran Zen’s Partner division for over 20 years and was also holding responsibility for Zen’s Consumer divisions, will now be able to focus exclusively on the consumer side of things.
The move reflects Zen’s recent shift to develop their Fibre Hub (i.e. an alternative network aggregation platform for use by other ISPs), which requires a much greater and more dedicated focus on Partners than existed before.
Paul (Pictured – Left) is said to be bringing two decades of channel experience, having previously held senior leadership roles at Entanet (CityFibre) and Giganet (AllPoints Fibre Networks).
Richard Tang, Founder and CEO of Zen Internet, said:
“Paul’s arrival marks an exciting new chapter for our Partner division. He has a record for building successful wholesale businesses, but what really stands out is his passion for people and partners. That’s exactly what Zen is all about. With Paul at the helm, our partners can expect even greater focus, energy, and support as we move forward.”
