Formerly Channel Partner Manager, Yates has worked at Channel Telecom for over five years having joined soon after the company was established by MD Clifford Norton.
Yates said: "I'm excited to be taking up the challenge of heading sales at Channel Telecom at a time of rapid growth for our company.
"Our sales of Ethernet and hosted voice are surging as our channel partners communicate the major benefits of these new technologies to their customers. I will be supporting our teams and partners and aim to lead from the front."
Norton added: "Steve has been with me from almost the beginning and his loyalty and commitment to the Channel Telecom ethos is rock solid. He is definitely the guy to take us forward as we look ahead to another record year for sales revenue."
