DRC new MD and chair hires

Newbury-based DRC has appointed Sue Elliott as its new Managing Director and Roger Flynn as its Chair.

Elliott joins the telecoms solutions provider after an eight-year stint at Windsor Telecom, where she held the roles of COO and MD. Flynn most recently served as Chair and Non-Executive Director at Olive Communications before it was sold to Onecom in February.

DRC was established 32 years ago and provides business mobiles, lines and calls, fixed lines and hosted telephony systems for mid-market companies across the UK. It counts Microsoft, 8x8 and Gamma among its vendor partners. The appointments of Flynn and Elliott signify a renewed focus on accelerated growth – both organically and through M&A – for the owner-managed business.

“We are delighted to be strengthening our leadership team with the additions of Sue and Roger. Both bring deep sector expertise and many years of experience that will be invaluable as we take another step on our journey to becoming a leading provider of telecoms solutions for UK businesses,” stated Dene Roberts, Founder and Sales Director of DRC.

Flynn added: “I’m pleased to be joining DRC and supporting a fantastic team as the business continues to accelerate.

"The telecoms industry is in transition as it faces a more digitised and cloud-based future, and DRC is well-poised to take advantage of that market shift thanks to its scale and position in the market, alongside its reputation for high quality customer service.”

Elliott stated: “DRC has developed a solid platform for growth over more than three decades, thanks to a loyal customer base, a respected team of experts and a genuine focus on the customer. The opportunity to both expand the portfolio of services and grow through acquisition is clear, and I’m thrilled to be joining the business at such an exciting time.”
