Former TalkTalk channel chief joins ANS

ANS Group's growth ambitions have ratcheted up following the appointment of former TalkTalk MD-Indirect Richard Thompson as CRO.

The Group plans to double EBITDA to £80m and revenue to £240m by the end of 2025 with Thompson joining to take responsibility for sales, marketing and commercial functions with a remit to drive significant growth through new and existing channels.

He joins the ANS Group board following 20 years with TalkTalk where he grew its wholesale broadband market share to more than 60 per cent.

“I love to be the challenger, disrupting markets and generating huge growth," he said.

"Hitting our targets depends on understanding what we're great at and making smart decisions, expanding our channels and continuing to invest in the best talent."

Alongside Thompson on the board are CEO Paul Shannon, COO Chris Hodgson, M&A Director Catherine Greening, CFO Steve Townsley and Chairman Richard Bishop.

Shannon said : “Richard's knowledge and experience of maximizing key strategic partnerships and his track record in building high-performing commercial teams will turn up the dial on our growth."
