Easynet enlists ex BT Engage IT sales director

Gary Butters pops up at managed networking provider

Easynet Global Services has enlisted former BT Engage IT sales director Gary Butters to spearhead its sales and marketing efforts.

Butters (pictured), who only joined BT Engage last October from Colt, has been appointed as sales and marketing director for the managed networking and hosting firm.

He has also worked for Dell and Fujitsu, and Easynet said Butters' track record made him well suited to the role.

Easynet chief executive David Rowe said: "His extensive knowledge and experience in delivering solutions for networked IT requirements will help our customers navigate the changing technology landscape, and help shape the direction of the products and services we deliver in the future.

"We have big ambitions for Easynet over the coming years and we know Gary shares these with us. He will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve these goals."

Butters added: "Easynet has fantastic potential for growth in the years ahead and I look forward to working with the management team to ensure this is achieved."
