Communications group appoints CFO

COMMUNICATIONS provider KCOM Group has appointed Jane Aikman as its chief financial officer

She will join the board of the Hull-based group with immediate effect, replacing Paul Simpson who had previously announced he was leaving after 16 years with the company.

Ms Aikman has held a number of executive level positions, including her most recent role as chief financial officer and chief operating officer for Phoenix IT Group up until its acquisition by, and merger with, Daisy Group.

Bill Halbert, KCOM’s chief executive, said “She brings with her a wealth of relevant industry experience and will give fresh perspectives to discussions at both a Board and senior leadership level.”
 
Jane will stand for election by the shareholders at the company’s AGM next July.

Previously, she was chief financial officer of Infinis, Wilson Bowden and Pressac. She spent five years in South East Asia with Asia Pulp and Paper Co and three years as an internal audit manager with GEC Alsthom. She qualified as a chartered accountant with Ernst & Young.
