6:53 am, Wed July 10, 2013
The Irish Times newspaper on Wednesday reported that Digicel Group’s chief executive officer, Colm Delves, is relocating from Jamaica back to Ireland. According to the newspaper, Digicel is to establish a corporate base in Dublin from where Mr. Delves and other senior members of its management team will oversee its operations, which cover 30 markets in the Caribbean, Central America and the Pacific Islands. The company is believed to have already secured a location to house its offices.
It is understood that the changes reflect a desire by Mr. Delves to return home to Ireland with his family.
He has been based in Jamaica, which was Digicel’s first market in 2001. While the company’s corporate base has traditionally been in Jamaica, Digicel Group, the overarching company for its markets, is incorporated in Bermuda.
Among the other executives expected to relocate back to Ireland are chief financial officer Lawrence Hickey and Brian Devine, its head of investor relations. The Irish Times said no comment was available from Digicel on its decision to establish a base in Ireland.
