Orchard Networks has appointed Paul Windmill as head of telecoms as it prepares for major expansion of its telecoms business – with 25 new jobs planned over the next three years.

The firm, which is part of Elland-based Orchard Group, launched its telecoms arm earlier this year to offer landline, mobile, broadband and VoIP installation and technical support alongside its existing IT solutions, waste management, energy purchasing and energy efficiency services.

Neil Ewing, director of Orchard Networks, said the company was preparing for aggressive expansion and that Mr Windmill would be responsible for driving forward its growth strategy.th.”
