Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

 

Gamma Communications plc ("Gamma" or "the Group"), a leading European provider
of business-critical communications technology, is pleased to announce the
appointment of Damien Maltarp as Chief Financial Officer and Executive
Director, following a comprehensive search and selection process. Damien will
succeed Bill Castell, who, as previously announced, will be leaving the Group
on 31 March 2026 to take up an executive role at a private equity backed
business.

 

Damien brings significant telecoms and capital markets expertise to Gamma,
underpinned by more than 15 years' senior leadership experience across a broad
range of financial disciplines. He is currently Group Financial Controller for
London Stock Exchange Group plc ("LSEG") and serves as a non-executive
director of The Mercantile Investment Trust plc, where he is also Audit
Committee Chair. Prior to joining LSEG, Damien spent over ten years at BT
Group plc, including roles as CFO of BT Enterprise, their UK B2B division, and
as CFO of BT Wholesale & Ventures. He originally joined BT in 2010 as
Investor Relations Director, leading the function for four years. Earlier in
his career, Damien spent ten years as an equity analyst in the telecoms
sector, including roles at Credit Suisse, JPMorgan Cazenove and Bank of
America. Damien has a degree in Economics and Management Studies from
Cambridge.

 

Damien will join the Group and the Board at the latest in September 2026, with
the exact date to be confirmed.

 

In the interim period, a senior member of the Group finance function will
manage the internal financial operations reporting directly to Andrew Belshaw,
while Andrew Belshaw will manage investor and analyst matters.

 

Andrew Belshaw, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "I first met Damien when
he was CFO of BT Wholesale and I am thrilled he has chosen to join us. He
brings to Gamma a combination of extensive financial expertise and deep
telecommunications sector knowledge, gained across a number of first-class
organisations."

 

Damien Maltarp, incoming Chief Financial Officer, commented: "I am delighted
to be joining Gamma, a business I have admired for some time. This is an
incredibly exciting time for the Group as Gamma further strengthens its
position as a European provider of business-critical technology. I look
forward to working with Andrew and the team and contributing to the Group's
continued success."

 

There are no other matters that require disclosure under 6.4.8R of the UK
Listing Rules.
