Bermuda business becomes part of C&W local portfolio

Cable & Wireless is restructuring its International business so that its Bermuda unit will become linked to the Channel Islands & Isle of Man portfolio, to create a better experience for pan-island corporate customers.

There are great synergies between the Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man and Bermuda business units, particularly in terms of a number of large international companies which have relationships with Cable & Wireless in multiple jurisdictions. This move is designed to help the company to create a more cohesive system to service those accounts, in line with its focus on improving the customer experience across Cable & Wireless International. All four business units sit in Cable & Wireless’ Monaco & Islands portfolio within its International division.

The only initial change is that Geoff Houston is now Chief Executive of the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Bermuda.

Mr Houston commented:

“Cable & Wireless International operates in 33 jurisdictions providing global expertise with a local touch. We have a number of customers, predominantly but not exclusively in the finance industry, which have relationships with our business in more than one of those jurisdictions. This move is designed to help us focus on how to ensure that they receive seamless relationship management whether they are undertaking a small local project or a major international one. This is simply the latest example of how our business is becoming ever-more focused on improving the experience all our customers have of Cable & Wireless.”
