Pete Collinge, well known to many across the Island as WightFibre’s Sales Director is set to retire after a career in telecoms spanning over four decades. Pete hands over the role to Hayley Turner, who has worked closely with Pete for the past two years as Business Sales Exec.
“Pete has made a tremendous contribution to WightFibre, delivering the phenomenal sales growth we have enjoyed over the last few years,” says John Irvine, WightFibre’s CEO. “His charm and wit will be missed by both ourselves and our customers. We wish Pete a long and happy retirement. At WightFibre we also take great pride in recruiting only from the island so it is great to be able to promote Hayley from within for this role. ”
Pete first worked for WightFibre in the 2000s and re-joined in 2013. Pete has played a major part in WightFibre’s recent success which has seen the company grow by over 40% in the last few years to see the company now serve nearly 6,000 homes and businesses across the Island through its own fibre optic cable network.
