- Three C-suite appointments follow exit from administration and new ownership.
- Leadership restructure signals shift from restructuring to rapid London fibre build-out.
What happened
Ed North joins as Chief Commercial Officer. Mohammed Ahmed is appointed Chief Financial Officer. Mike Ghent becomes Chief Operating Officer.
The company said the appointments support its next growth phase in London. It aims to scale its full-fibre network across the capital.
North returns to G.Network from Hyperoptic. Ahmed joins from a background spanning BT, National Grid and ICE Telecommunications. Ghent arrives from Spring Fibre, where he served as COO.
The company recently exited administration and now operates under FitzWalter Capital ownership. It has also relocated its headquarters to Elephant and Castle in London.

Why it’s important
The appointments follow G.Network’s exit from administration and reset under FitzWalter Capital ownership. The simultaneous hiring of commercial, financial and operational leadership signals tighter integration across revenue, capital and delivery — a structure typically adopted when fibre operators enter rapid rollout phases.
London’s full-fibre market is shifting from coverage expansion to density-driven deployment, where execution speed matters more than initial footprint. Companies with aligned executive teams can respond faster to buildout opportunities.
The changes indicate a strategic repositioning from restructuring toward aggressive expansion — a pattern repeated across urban fibre markets as operators streamline leadership to match infrastructure competition.
