31st March, 2010

Fibre-optic infrastructure specialists, H2O Networks (an i3 Group company) has today announced the appointment of Andrew Carr as sales director. Andrew's appointment is the latest in a recent succession of senior appointments at the company.

Andrew will take responsibility for sales across all of the company's key verticals including the public sector and enterprises, and he will also develop the company's Partner Program. Before joining H2O Networks, Andrew was sales and marketing director at Capita IT Services following its acquisition of IT services provider ComputerLand UK.

Commenting on his appointment, Andrew said: "I am delighted to join H2O Networks. The company's unique and cost effective method of fibre deployment through the waste water system is changing the telecommunications industry. It reduces operational costs without the high levels of environmental disruption caused by traditional network infrastructure builds. Organisations of all types can now experience the enabling infrastructure of low cost fibre, which supports both the Digital Britain agenda and cloud computing applications.

"H2O Networks has extremely ambitious growth plans and I am joining the organisation following a succession of high profile wins, including a contract to deploy a city-wide fibre optic network infrastructure for the City of York Council.

"I look forward to delivering our unique value proposition to even more customers and partners and contributing to the continued success of the organisation."

Roy Shelton, managing director, H2O Networks said: "I am delighted to welcome Andrew and his understanding of the needs of public sector customers, partners and carriers will add significant value to those organisations.

"H2O Networks has experienced fantastic growth over the past year, despite one of the worst recessions in modern times. Organisations are now realising the benefits of the reduced operational costs of a fibre optic network infrastructure. Andrew's appointment is a further significant step as we continue to build our business in the UK and Europe."
