    Stephen Wright, Contact Centres. Previous experience includes roles for Aspect and NICE.

Rufus Grig, Chief Technology Officer, Azzurri Communications, said: “The Azzurri product portfolio is already market leading in terms of the vendors and products we can bring together. No other firm can offer such a depth of expertise in telecoms and network provision and management. But the specialisms the new hires bring, combined with the skills of our existing team, position us very strongly given the market appetite for the organisational benefits unified communications platforms can deliver.”

Craig Wellman, Director of Business Development, Azzurri Communications, commented: “We’ve invested significantly in this team, which builds on the success of our Azzurri Innovations arm launched last year. We see the product team as a key component for our own business growth as we move up the value chain, to offer more professional services that complement our traditional systems integration and managed service offerings.”
