Newbury-based Gamma Communications appoints new CEO

Newbury-based Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) provider Gamma Communications plc has appointed Andrew Belshaw as its new Chief Executive Officer.

UCaaS, for those not in the know, is not the organisation which handles university applications. Rather, it refers to the cloud-based delivery of a variety of communication and collaboration applications and services, such as messaging, online meetings, team collaboration and video conferencing.

Andrew, who steps up from his previous role as Interim CEO which held has held since 2022, was promoted to the role after a recruitment process which involved external candidates. CFO of Gamma at the time of its IPO in 2014, Andrew remained in that position until he was promoted to Deputy CEO in May this year.

He first joined Gamma as Finance Director in 2007, having gained experience at Xansa, EY and Deloitte previously.

Richard Last, Chair of Gamma, said: "I am pleased to be able to announce the appointment of Andrew as Chief Executive.

“There are exciting opportunities ahead for Gamma, and Andrew, with the support of the Gamma leadership team and the Board, is well placed to ensure that we capitalise upon them. The Board and wider leadership team are looking forward to working with Andrew as Chief Executive."
