A message from Ben Doherty
“We’re excited to welcome John to the company as CFO. Beyond his financial expertise, John brings a collaborative and people-centred approach that aligns perfectly with our values and culture. His clarity, discipline, and financial acumen will be a tremendous asset to all of us” says Ben Doherty, CEO of Orbital Internet Group.
John’s arrival comes at a pivotal moment in our journey as we continue to invest in innovation, infrastructure, and the incredible people who drive our mission forward. His leadership will play a central role in steering our financial strategy and supporting the delivery of our ambitious objectives.
In January 2025 Orbital Internet Group announced the acquisition of ClubWifi, a leading supplier of commercial WiFi services to holiday parks, marinas & more.
This acquisition is part of the Orbital Internet Group’s ongoing strategy to expand its footprint and deliver reliable, innovative connectivity solutions nationwide. Looking ahead, the company remains focused on identifying and exploring further opportunities that align with its mission — a focus that new CFO John Slingsby will play a key role in supporting.
The Orbital team have already given John a warm welcome, and we’re confident his presence will have a lasting, positive impact across the business.
