Manx Telecom has appointed Ian Liddle as a Senior Account Manager for the company’s Chameleon portfolio of products. Chameleon is the brand name for the company’s UK/EU focused smart SIM solutions. It is designed for strategic partners and resellers who provide connection critical, M2M (machine to machine), and MVNO solutions to their clients. This latest appointment is part of the continued drive to grow the company’s off-Island business. Chameleon is already the mobile product of choice for a wide range of connection critical markets including providing protection for remote workers, remotely monitoring systems, or improving business efficiency. It offers the flexibility to roam on any network, provides a more cost-effective option when compared to traditional roaming solutions, and also gives Manx Telecom’s partners access to an innovative management portal which allows greater control of their service than a traditional UK network operator would provide.
The Chameleon portfolio of products is the responsibility of the company’s Global Solutions Team. Over the past few years, the company’s off-Island markets have increased to such an extent that it now forms a significant and rapidly growing part of the business. Half-year figures for the six months to June 30, 2014, showed that Global Solutions revenues grew 30% as a result of increased wholesale SMS volumes, Machine-to-Machine services (M2M), and Chameleon services.
Ian Liddle joins Manx Telecom after a successful career in the travel industry. He began working at Mann Link Travel Group in 1985 and rose through the ranks as the business evolved to become Online Regional Travel Group Limited. In 2006 Ian became Operations Director and a shareholder at ORTG. Commenting on his appointment, Ian said:
“I am delighted to have joined Manx Telecom’s growing Global Solutions team. This is an exciting opportunity to help nurture the excellent relationships the Chameleon Team already has with our key customers and grow the client base.”
Ian will be based in the Isle of Man and his appointment adds additional strength to Manx Telecom’s already experienced Chameleon team, which includes Suzanne Mealin and Paul Craig. The team is led by Product Manager Sarah Creighton, who commented:
“We welcome Ian’s appointment. His wealth of premium account management experience and strategic focus will allow us to deliver excellent service to our partners.”
