On his appointment Kieron James said: "I'm honoured to have been asked to serve on the FCS Board. Jacqui Brookes and her team continue to provide an outstanding service to the industry and it has been a real pleasure to have chaired the FCS Numbering group for the past seven years. I greatly look forward to working with the other board members during what will doubtless be a particularly interesting period in the UK communications sector, not least with a major non-geographic number consultation underway."
Welcoming Kieron James to the FCS board FCS chairman Justin Orde said: “We are pleased to have the advantage of Kieron’s knowledge of the telephony sector and particularly his understanding of the non-geographic numbering sector that is under scrutiny by Ofcom at present. Kieron has led the FCS Numbering Group since its foundation and is a powerful advocate of the importance of numbering services for end user businesses.”
