Cellhire adds IoT account manager and business development executive

York-based IoT connectivity specialist Cellhire has made two appointments to its IoT team. Josh Corcoran joins as IoT account manager, while Matthew Worrall becomes business development executive.

Corcoran brings experience in telecoms account management and new business, having worked at EE, BT and Tela Technology.

“Connectivity only adds value when it’s built around what a business actually needs,” he said. “My focus will be to help customers by demonstrating what connectivity can achieve for their specific requirements.”

He added: “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.”

Worrall will play a central part in expanding Cellhire’s presence in its target IoT sectors, helping new customers find suitable connectivity for their devices, deployments and longer-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 said.

“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 said: “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.”

Duncan Griffiths, head of IoT sales at Cellhire, said: “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.”

“Bringing in new experienced people like Josh and Matthew means we can keep pace with rapid IoT growth in the UK and internationally,” he said.

Griffiths pointed to forecasts from Transforma Insights, which expects global IoT connections to reach 33.3 billion by 2030, up from 23.4 billion in 2026, and 48 billion by 2035. Cellular IoT is forecast to exceed 4.4 billion connections by 2030, from around 2.8 billion this year, while 2G connections keep declining as networks are switched off.
