MLL Telecom appoints Stuart Wallis as CEO

MLL Telecom is pleased to announce the appointment of Stuart Wallis as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This follows Shaun Ledgerwood’s decision to step down as CEO after six years in the role.

Previously, Stuart served as the company’s Chief Commercial Officer for five years and has been a member of MLL’s senior leadership team since 2019, working closely with Shaun and company Chairman, Mike Stevens.

He has over 25 years career experience in the telecom sector gained in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, including engineering roles at Nokia, Ericsson and Nortel before joining MLL in 2010. Through his various director level operational and commercial roles at MLL, Stuart’s drive and focus have established the company as a leader in network design, build and management. Today MLL has a business relationship with every major service provider in the UK and is the most successful SME provider of wide area network services to UK Local Authorities.

“I am honoured to be taking over from Shaun Ledgerwood who has worked tirelessly over the last six years to develop and grow MLL,” said Stuart Wallis, CEO, MLL Telecom. “I am also very excited to be leading a company that has over the last 35 years enabled digital transformation from 1G to 5G in the UK Mobile Sector and is a trusted provider of cutting edge secure digital communications across the UK Public Sector. I’ve seen first-hand what a fantastic team we have, and I look forward to continuing that strong teamwork into the future, ensuring the company continues to scale efficiently and deliver service excellence across MLL’s target Mobile, Public Sector and Enterprise markets.”

“I am pleased Stuart is succeeding me as MLL’s CEO, we have worked closely together over the years, and I cannot think of a person more qualified to take the helm,” said Shaun Ledgerwood. “Stuart’s open, transparent and customer centric approach has been instrumental to helping us build a thriving and well-managed company. His strong engineering, operational and commercial background and deep knowledge of MLL makes him ideally placed to lead the company’s next stage growth.”

Mike Stevens, MLL’s Chairman added: “We are all hugely grateful to Shaun who has led MLL for the last six years, always pushing, encouraging and driving the business forward. I am delighted that Stuart has agreed to step into the CEO role and lead the business through to even greater success.”
