Commenting on his new appointment, Alex Baldock said: “I’m incredibly excited to join ETL Systems and eagerly anticipating the opportunity to collaborate with the team. With an ever-growing global client base and a highly skilled team of engineers, ETL holds a leading position within the satcoms industry.
“With the UK now one of the most attractive destinations for private investment in space, it’s certainly an exciting time to join the business. Working closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Dunne, I intend to use my experience to enable ETL to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry and continue its impressive growth.”
Kevin Dunne, CEO of ETL Systems, added: “We are delighted to welcome Alex as our Chief Operating Officer. Having enjoyed rapid growth over recent years, it became clear that we needed an experienced professional to join the team to further develop and deliver our longer-term operations strategy.
