Excel Networking Solutions – the copper and optical fibre cabling infrastructure provider – is expanding their Business Development team with the recent appointment of a Director of Business Development.

Jason Holroyd, who was previously responsible for driving specifications of the Excel brand as a Midlands-based Business Development Manager (BDM) between 2009 and 2016, has now taken on the challenge of managing the team of BDMs nationwide.

Speaking of Jason’s industry knowledge, Andrew continued, “His years of relevant experience and connections will support our business efforts to increase end user and consultant-led specifications, and to become stronger in markets with growth opportunities, particularly Residential and Data Centre areas.”
