Gareth Jones steps down from COO role at 3

Commenting on Jones’ departure, Bob Fuller, 3 UK CEO, said: “We are on target to hit EBITDA break-even by the end of the year and Gareth has helped us to achieve that. I’d like to thank him for all his hard work over the last two and half years.”

Jones joined 3 in May 2003 and as COO has overseen the sales, customer service and marketing departments.  

Jones said: “I came out of retirement to work for Bob for an agreed period of time and I have now achieved the business objectives I set myself. It’s been a privilege working with all the team at 3 and I believe we have made a real difference in this market. It’s been an exciting two and half years and I’m now looking forward to a well-earned rest with my family and looking for my next challenge.”
