Three CFO Richard Woodward is to take on the entirety of the operator’s commercial activities following the departure of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Grant Stevenson.

Stevenson became CCO in February 2017 having previously served as a senior advisor to parent company CK Hutchison and as CFO for Three’s Scandinavian business.

He is returning home to Australia, where he has also worked for Hutchison ventures, for family reasons after 18 months in his present role. 

Three reshuffle

The shakeup is significant because the commercial activities of Three will be combined into a single unit. Previously Stevenson was responsible for Three-branded products, while Woodward controlled wholesale and non-Three branded services like the SMARTY SIM-Only MVNO.

Darren Purkis, current deputy CFO, will be promoted to the top job having been with Three for nine years, during which he has been retail CFO and Finance Director. He previously had roles at Warehouse Fashions, Borders Books, Kingfisher and Marks & Spencer.

Both changes will take effect on 1 June.

Three now has more than 10 million users on its network, which now delivers 4G to 98.5 per cent of the UK population. Revenue for the past year was up 7 per cent to £2.4 billion as Three recorded its lowest ever handset contract churn rate of just 1.1 percent.

There are three new, highly affordable Nokia-branded smartphones have launched, offering an Android experience at a price many will be able to afford.

The new handsets are the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 2.1, and they are the successors to the Nokia 5, Nokia 3 and Nokia 2 from 2017.

The new Nokia 5 (2018) features a 5.5-inch, 18:9 display with a full HD+ resolution, octa-core chipset, 2GB/3GB of RAM, 16GB/32GB of storage, microSD slot, 16MP rear camera, 8MP wide-angle front camera, Android 8.1 Oreo and a 2,960mAh battery.

That’s all wrapped in a premium metal unibody that’s available in three colors: Satin Copper, Tempered Blue and Black. 

The Nokia 5.1 release date is set for July and prices starting at €189 (around $220, £165, AU$290) for the 2GB/16GB option, while the 3GB/32GB configuration will set you back €219 (around $255, £190, AU$330). 

Getting cheaper

Next up is the new Nokia 3 (2018), with a 5.2-inch HD, 18:9 display, octa-core chipset, 2GB/3GB of RAM, 16GB/32GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera, 8MP wide-angle front snapper, Android 8.1 Oreo and a 2,990mAh battery.

The Nokia 3.1 will be available sooner, with a release date set for June, and it’ll cost you €139 ($160, £120, AU$210) for the 2GB/16GB variant and €169 ($200, £150, AU$260) for the 3GB/32GB version.

Finally, and rounding off the trio of new low-cost Nokia phones, we have the new Nokia 2. Unlike the other two phones, the Nokia 2.1 runs Android Oreo Go Edition – a lighter version of Google’s operating system specifically made for cheaper handsets with less power.

The Nokia 2.1 comes with a 5.5-inch HD display, Snapdragon 425 chipset, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage (of which 4.7GB is available), microSD slot and a 4,000mAh battery.

It’s claimed the Nokia 2.1 can last two days on a single charge, and it’ll set you back just $115 (around £85, AU$150) when it goes on sale in July.
