Very proud of the Data Science and analytics team at Lebara who scooped the award for transformation with data at the DataIQ awards tonight. This is testimony to the great progress made in the last 2 years under the Leadership of Matt Crawley and the fabulous contribution of all his team. Big thanks also to Jonathan Sinclair who coordinated our award winning submission. What makes this award even more special is its cross-industry and the other 10 finalists were seasoned blue chip companies who are established players in this space #dataiqawards #datascience #AI #Machinelearning #Lebara #winners

This Sunday I am attempting the GNR again. At 55, there have been times recently where I thought about packing it in as the training has been harder than ever. But something keeps bringing me back and that something is fundraising for Cancer research.I became the 1 in 2 statistic when I got diagnosed with colon cancer nearly 2 yrs ago. Fortunately for me, I was diagnosed early, and the treatment I was offered by amazing doctors in High Wycombe was surgery. 5 weeks after surgery I was back running 5k and was given the all clear. My sister also beat cancer in 2012, thanks in large part to early diagnosis. Unfortunately both my parents died of cancer in 2020 so I have also seen the grief and pain that cancer brings. Sunday will be my 9th time doing the GNR and I’ll keep doing it as long as I can. Cancer Research’s mission is simple. It is about getting us closer to a world where no life is cut short by cancer. I simply have to back an organisation with this ambition! I appreciate any donation that my network can offerhttps://lnkd.in/enDuDZyR#GNR2023 #cancerresearch #beatcancer #cancersurvivor

Millions of mobile customers in the UK have either just received or about to receive increases in their mobile bills consistent with the charts above #network .The increases are difficult if not impossible to fully defend, particularly in the current economic climate.Many customers don't change because they have a perception that its too much hassle and they don't have the time. This is simply not true, it's really easy to switch. All you need to do is simply follow this 4 step process:1. Buy your Lebara SIM on line and choose a plan. You'll receive the SIM the next working day ( with a temporary number)2. Text PAC to 65075 from your current mobile network SIM ( non Lebara) to request your PAC code. You should receive this instantly via SMS 3. On receipt, pop your new Lebara SIM in the handset and switch on. Now visit https://lnkd.in/erhXMWyp and complete a short form to transfer your number on your chosen date.4. On that chosen day, the process takes a couple of hours, and you will be ready to chat and browse on the new Lebara network with your existing mobile number in very little time.It's that simple to make the switch!#Lebara #change #smartchoice #switchandsave #costofliving

I have worked in the mobile industry for over 25 years and have never seen so much negative press caused by the Mobile Operators increasing their prices, both at end of contract and mid-contract periods. This negative press is being fuelled by Martin Lewis and others, and generally customers are extremely unhappy about this - rightfully so.Millions of customers in the UK will have received notice of their mobile bills increasing by up to 17% in April. At Lebara, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to access a reliable network with dependable service at an affordable price. We do not apply inflationary price increases. Our focus is to provide outstanding value and outstanding service, which is why we are one of the fastest growing operators in the UK.With Lebara you can:- change or cancel your plan at any time- Use your plan when roaming in the EU - up to 30GB of data- Sign up hassle-free in less than 60 seconds- Get 5G included at no extra cost - we run on the Vodafone network- Rely on excellent customer service with a Trustpilot score of 4.8Check us out here. It really is easy to switch.https://lnkd.in/eBAJtuBk#lebara #smartchoice #costofliving #customerservice

After a short time away from the Telecoms industry I am really excited to announce that I have joined Lebara in the role of Group Chief Commercial Officer. Stephen Shurrock my old colleague from O2 contacted me in August to see if I would help him out with a few challenges at Lebara Initially I agreed to join on an interim basis but within a very short period i realised the opportunity was an exciting one and I was delighted to accept the offer to join full time. There are 3 keys reasons why I joined the business- Fun - The strategy is exciting and I have no doubt I can have a lot of fun delivering it. - Continue to Learn - Despite 25 years of industry experience, the role gives me a great opportunity to continue to learn particularly across data science & analytics, brand licensing and digital transformation. - People & Culture - having been here 6 months, the folks at Lebara are a good bunch! Very focused shareholders, a strong leadership team and talented people right across the business, who all have a key role to play in delivering the strategy. Lebara have been very flexible with me over the last few months which I really appreciated. I am keen to pay them back and get stuck into the next chapter. Looking forward to the journey ahead.#team #lebara #fun
