It has been announced that Keith Todd has been awarded a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, for services to the Telecommunications Industry. This is a well deserved honour and recognition for the tremendous amount of work that Keith has put into driving the Broadband agenda over the last few years.

Keith has been the BSG’s independent Chairman since early 2002. He currently also holds the positions of Executive Chairman of Easynet Group plc, Executive Chairman of FFastFill plc and has his own consultancy Knotty Green Consultants Ltd.
