New Team Structure Underscores Commitment to Supporting Critical National Operations
Calgary, Canada and Broadway, England (May 27, 2025) – Network Innovations (NI, the Company) is proud to announce the formation of a stand-alone Business Unit dedicated to serving the United Kingdom’s Defence and Government sectors. This new structure marks an evolution from the UK’s previous alignment under NI’s U.S. Government Business Unit, reflecting the growing scale, maturity, and strategic importance of the UK market.
In today’s increasingly dynamic and complex operational environment, NI’s relationships across the UK government landscape are rooted in partnership, trust, and a shared commitment to national resilience. From enabling mission-critical communications to supporting complex operational requirements, NI has been a trusted collaborator since opening its UK office in 2016.
“This move is a tribute to the incredible dedication and impact of our UK team,” said Derek Dawson, CEO of Network Innovations. “Over the years, they have built strong relationships by listening closely to customer needs and delivering consistent, innovative support. It’s clear from my own conversations with our government clients that the NI team is seen not only as a technology provider but as a true partner in the success of their missions. I’m also pleased to welcome Tony Talbot to our Executive Team, recognizing his leadership and the collaborative strength of the entire UK operation.”
Tony Talbot, now President of the UK Government Business Unit, added, “This new chapter represents a collective step forward. The work we do across the UK’s Defence and Government landscape is critical - not only to those we serve directly but to the wider public who rely on the outcomes of these operations. I’m proud to continue this journey with a dedicated team of professionals who are passionate about helping our customers stay connected, informed, and operational wherever the mission takes them.”
Looking ahead, the UK Government Business Unit will host its inaugural Customer Day next month, bringing together partners, clients, and NI leadership to share insights and outline the vision for supporting next-generation communications for national missions.
