The CEO of Daisy Communications has left following the Lancashire firm’s merger with Virgin Media O2, which created a £1.4 billion revenue company.

Dave McGinn joined the Nelson-based firm in 2009 as MD of Daisy Distribution and was named CEO of Daisy Communications in April 2016.

Daisy founder Matthew Riley – who chairs O2 Daisy was included in BusinessCloud’s 2025 Northern Leaders list – paid tribute to ‘crafty Cockney’ McGinn.
