Cellhire, the IoT connectivity specialist, has strengthened its IoT team with two new appointments – Josh Corcoran as IoT Account Manager and Matthew Worrall as Business Development Executive.
Corcoran comes with a strong telecoms background in account management and new business, from roles at EE, BT and Tela Technology. “Connectivity only adds value when it’s built around what a business actually needs,” he says. “My focus will be to help customers by demonstrating what connectivity can achieve for their specific requirements.
“Customer expectations are moving fast, and I’m looking forward to helping those expectations being met. In my experience, nobody buys connectivity for its own sake. They buy what it makes possible.”
Growing Cellhire’s presence
Worrall’s role will be central to growing Cellhire’s presence in its target IoT verticals, helping new customers find the right connectivity for their devices, deployments and long-term plans.
“A big part of that is opening new conversations and building relationships with businesses that need robust, reliable IoT connectivity, backed by tier one networks and managed through a single platform,” he says.
“Many businesses already know IoT can help them. What they’re less sure about is where to start, and who to trust with the connectivity that their whole operation will rely on.”
Worrall adds, “We’ll both be helped by the capabilities of Cellhire’s SIM management platform and multi-network connectivity. It’s a powerful combination that gives companies the reliability, control and support – and confidence – to deploy IoT at scale.”
New signings welcomed
Cellhire’s Head of IoT Sales, Duncan Griffiths, welcomed the new signings. “Josh and Matthew join us at a time when there is more and more demand for IoT connectivity that can be relied on, regardless of where devices are,” he says.
“Bringing in new experienced people like Josh and Matthew means we can keep pace with rapid IoT growth in the UK and internationally.”
He adds that Transforma Insights forecasts that global IoT connections will rise from 23.4 billion in 2026 to 33.3 billion by 2030, reaching 48 billion by 2035. Cellular IoT is set to grow from around 2.8 billion connections this year to more than 4.4 billion by 2030, while 2G connections keep falling as networks switch off.
