The Isle of Man-based company works with over 650 mobile, hosted-voice, fixed-line resellers across the UK.

Each PSE will lead one UK region, where they will deal with all post-connection issues.

The five regions include the north, covering Northern Ireland and Scotland, three central divisions and the south.

Ward takes on the role from Plan.com sales manager Michelle McAteer, who will continue to oversee advertising and strategy for enticing new customers to the airtime distributor.

Ward has worked in the customer service department at Plan.com since joining in 2015, with roles as manager of the division and more recently specialist support manager.

Speaking to Mobile News, Ward said: “I want to take the level of service we provide and give customers an ever better experience. I want to build better relationships with our partners and a more comfortable working environment with them.

“Our partners, quite rightly, demand across-the-board excellence. That’s our commitment to them.”

Plan.com national head of sales Graham Donald said: “With over 30-years of experience in a customer-facing role and a great deal of respect from his colleagues and our partners, Steve brings a wealth of knowledge to this role, giving him a unique insight into what partners need, to manage and grow their businesses.”
