Introducing Nigel, Operations Director

Nigel Operations Director at Elev8

There’s a new Operations Director at Elev8!   

This summer we welcomed Nigel Gitsham to the Elev8 group.  An experienced manager with over 30 years of experience in the telecoms industry, Nigel has a wealth of operational management experience.  Read on to find out about Nigel’s background and how he is finding working at Elev8. 

Nigel's experience

Nigel started in mobile telecoms in the early 90’s as a Telecoms Rigger helping to build the telecoms infrastructure we see today, so really does know the telecoms industry from the ground up.  After 6 years working on site installing the 2G network for operators like One2One and Orange Hutchinson (that we know now as EE), he moved into a project management role working for Babcock International, a global company that delivers large infrastructure projects. 

In 2017 Nigel moved to 8 point 8 Support, which was later acquired by Mitie where he worked alongside our QHSE Director, Adam.  

Nigel is well known in the telecoms industry.  He has years of experience managing projects on multiple diverse sites, and his skill set applies well to the range of services we supply across the UK.

First impressions

Nigel has been with us a few weeks now, so we asked him what his first impressions of Elev8 were.

“Elev8’s real strength is its skilled and experienced team.  They have hundreds of years of expertise in what they do!

As the only company that offers a full turnkey solution, we can provide our customers with project efficiencies and simplify project management for them.

I’m honoured to work for Elev8, it is a great business with lots of potential for growth.  I want to use my operations and business experience to help Elev8 grow and pass my knowledge onto the younger generation of managers coming through”.

A great big Elev8 welcome to Nigel, we are delighted to have you on our team.
