NewVoiceMedia Ramps up Growth with new Appointments 

21st January 2010 – Basingstoke-based NewVoiceMedia has appointed three new executives as part of its bid for continued growth and development. The company enables businesses to improve the way in which they handle calls through a cloud-based telephony solution at a fraction of the cost of traditional technology, which is typically restrictive, slow and expensive.

Paul Turner has joined as Chief Operations Officer. Paul has previously held senior leadership positions in the IT and telecommunication sector, and brings significant general management, sales, product strategy and professional services experience to support NewVoiceMedia’s ambitious growth plans.

Sales Director Tom Livock has been appointed to drive new business development and manage a growing sales team, as it educates businesses of all sizes about the benefits of cloud telephony. Tom has 17 years’ experience in the telecoms space and joins from Voxgen.

Jessica Strachwitz Hamilton has joined as director of the NewVoiceMedia Foundation. Her task is to establish the charitable entity which aims to donate one per cent of NewVoiceMedia’s equity, products and staff time to worthy causes. The Foundation will be launched in February.

Jonathan Grant, CEO, says: “Many companies have started to see the benefits of cloud-based IT solutions, but few realise that similar efficiencies can be achieved in telephony as well. It offers a more flexible and cheaper solution for companies with multiple sites or a remote workforce. It’s also helped many businesses remain up and running in spite of the atrocious weather conditions we’ve recently experienced.”

 
“These key appointments reflect the growth plans for NewVoiceMedia as we continue to improve customer service through more flexible telephony solutions. In addition to our business goals, we want to create a socially responsible organisation with involvement from all staff and I am delighted that we have set up the NewVoiceMedia Foundation as a separate entity in this regard.”
