Glide has appointed Alan Marshall as European Sales Director, strengthening its senior commercial team as the company increases its focus on growth across Europe.
The appointment comes at an important time for Glide, as the business builds on its established European presence and increases activity across key markets. Glide already supports a large number of users across Europe, working with major customers in complex, multi-site environments where resilient, high-performing connectivity is critical.
In his new role, Alan will lead Glide’s European strategy, helping the company grow existing relationships, identify new opportunities and support customers looking for trusted connectivity partners across the UK and Europe.
Alan brings extensive experience in business development, strategic partnerships and customer growth. His appointment reflects Glide’s commitment to investing in senior leadership as it expands its European footprint and continues to deliver managed connectivity solutions for customers operating in complex environments.
Tim Pilcher, CEO at Glide, said:
“Europe is a major growth opportunity for Glide, but this is not about starting from scratch. We already support a significant number of users and key customer relationships across Europe, and we see a clear opportunity to build on that strong foundation.
Alan’s appointment gives us dedicated senior leadership in this area. His experience, commercial focus and understanding of customer needs will be invaluable as we increase our activity across Europe and continue to support organisations that need reliable, service-led connectivity.”
Alan Marshall, Head of European Business Development at Glide, said:
“Glide has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable, high-performance connectivity and exceptional customer service. As organisations across Europe continue to invest in digital infrastructure, there is a clear opportunity to support them with solutions that combine technical expertise with a genuinely customer-focused approach.
I’m excited to take on this role at such an important stage in Glide’s journey. We already have an established presence across several European markets, and I look forward to working closely with customers, partners and colleagues to accelerate growth, strengthen relationships and build on the success Glide has already achieved.”
Glide provides managed internet and connectivity services for complex environments, including student accommodation, build-to-rent, education, business and multi-site organisations. The company works with customers across the UK and Europe, delivering tailored network solutions backed by proactive support and clear accountability.
Alan’s appointment marks a further step in Glide’s growth strategy, as the business continues to invest in the people, partnerships and services needed to support customers across increasingly connected environments.
