Telecoms group appoints interim CFO

Telecoms group KCOM has appointed Anna Bielby as interim chief financial officer.

As previously announced, Jane Aikman has decided to leave the Hull business and will resign from the company’s board as planned on June 30.

Bielby, one of the company’s finance directors, has agreed to step up to the role and will join the board on July 1.

A permanent appointment to the position will be made when the group appoints a new chief executive.

Bill Halbert – its current CEO- will remain with the business until a handover is completed.

Halbert said: “I am delighted to welcome Anna to the board. She has the required skills to perform the role well and will bring additional value to discussions at both a board and senior leadership level. I look forward to working more closely with her as she takes on her new role.”
