Press Release
Following CMA clearance of the Vodafone UK Three UK merger in December 2024 (subject to legally binding commitments), and in anticipation of final deal completion in the coming months, Vodafone-Three has announced the company’s General Management Team
Max Taylor, CEO Vodafone UK, and CEO of the future merged entity, has appointed the following people to lead the new company:
- Darren Purkis, CFO
- Kelly Barlow, Strategy and Portfolio
- Clare Corkish, HR
- Andrea Dona, Networks
- Nick Gliddon, Business
- Stephen Lerner, Regulatory, Government Affairs & Company Secretary
- Nicki Lyons, Corporate Affairs & Sustainability
- Stephen Reidy, IT
- Jon Shaw, Consumer Operations
- Rob Winterschladen, Consumer
- Andy Yorston, Legal, Security, Compliance & Risk
The appointments followed a robust selection process and were approved by the MergeCo Governance Board, with representatives of both Vodafone Group and CK Hutchison as shareholders of the future merged company. The General Management Team appointees will transition into their new roles once the CMA process is fully complete and the new company, [MergeCo], is created, with the date of completion yet to be announced. Until then, all appointees will continue in their current roles at either Vodafone UK or Three UK, with both companies and teams continuing to operate separately until the merger is finalised.
Max Taylor said: “I would like to congratulate everyone on their new appointments. The new leadership team are all looking forward, following completion of our merger, to integrating our two companies and deliver on our commitment to build the UK’s best network for our customers”.
