Voicescape has bolstered its senior management team with the appointment of two industry experts, following a period of sustained growth for the organisation.
The Manchester-based business, which provides customer communication technology
coupled with behavioural insights for UK social
landlords, has appointed Gary Haynes as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Bill Williams as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
Gary has
30 years’ experience in professional supply side IT & consulting, with a strong track
record operating at C-level in software businesses in the North West. He
will be responsible for strengthening internal operations, which includes technical
delivery, product engineering and customer success, as well as being part of the Executive Team driving business strategy and growth.
Bill has 25 years’ experience leading teams in software sales, go-to-market strategies and
driving long-term customer relationships. Bill joins from Purple WiFi, where he was VP of Global Sales for over seven years. As part of the Executive Team, Bill will be responsible for overseeing the sales and marketing strategy, driving revenue growth and
bringing new solutions to market.
John Doyle, CEO of Voicescape, commented:
“Both Gary and Bill join at an exciting time for
the business.
The digital transformation of the social housing sector is gathering pace especially
as the pandemic compels providers to focus on more tailored means of tenant engagement and sustainability.
Voicescape has seen growth among existing customers, who have added to their product
suite. We’ve also had interest from other providers, who can see the tangible benefits of being able to reach more customers at a faster pace using our leading digital solutions.
“Bringing in two senior people of Gary and Bill’s pedigree will undoubtedly strengthen our
proposition, helping us to capitalise on the realisation within the sector that the needs and circumstances of individual customers are very different and subject to constant change.”
Founded in 1998, Voicescape has been
developing technology solutions for over twenty years. The organisation helps social landlords build
sustainable tenancies through more effective
customer engagement and behavioural insight.
Gary said: “The opportunity to join a thriving, exciting business with great technology and
great people, whilst combining my experience and approach to a new sector meant the challenge was simply too good to miss.
Bill added: “I’m thrilled to be joining such a dynamic business at a time when the housing
sector is really looking for new and innovative ways to digitally engage with their tenants while driving operational efficiencies within their teams.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has really sharpened the focus in many sectors. For Voicescape, it
has made our ability to improve engagement between our customers and their tenants even more compelling.”
