Mitchinson joins the board of the company with immediate effect. He will support the management team in driving sustainable growth in the telecommunications and technology sectors, whilst being instrumental in supporting the development of the team at the consultancy.

“XL Communications is already providing outstanding communications consultancy services for a broad range of loyal clients,” comments Mitchinson. “I aim to support the management team to extend their services to a wider range of companies, helping to showcase the creativity and agility that the team at XL Communications offers.”

XL Communications has worked for a wide range of blue-chip organisations including Nokia, Garmin, The UK Government, U-Switch, ViewSonic, Clarion, LexisNexis and CPA Global.

He was central to building the market leading position that Samsung enjoys in the mobile market in Europe today and has vast experience in every area of the mobile industry as well as running a well established and highly successful coaching and mentoring business. As mobile data technologies facilitate a new range of opportunities to connect people and things, Mark’s expertise and leadership will help XL Communications build a communications consultancy fit for the future.”
