Communicate Technology has appointed Paul Bryce as its new CEO as the cybersecurity and IT network specialist looks to build on a period of rapid growth following acquisitions and private equity backing.
The appointment comes after the Teesside-headquartered firm delivered 102% year-on-year growth, driven in part by the successful integration of Blaze Networks, which it acquired last year, and investment from private equity firm Rockpool in 2024.
The business provides cybersecurity, managed IT and network solutions to organisations across the UK.
Bryce brings more than 30 years’ experience in the managed service provider sector and joins the company from a background that includes being a founding member of Node4.
During his time in senior leadership roles at Node4, he helped scale the business from start-up to more than 1,100 employees and £190 million in annual revenues, while playing a key role in 10 acquisitions and three rounds of private equity investment.
In his new role, Bryce will be responsible for leading Communicate through its next phase of growth, with a focus on long-term value creation, strategy and culture.
Founder and outgoing group CEO Tony Snaith will remain on the board as a non-executive director.
