Tech Data Mobile MD Peter Hubbard departs

Sources claim he is leaving after four years as part of a cost-cutting drive by the distributor

Tech Data Mobile UK and Ireland managing director Peter Hubbard is to leave the distributor, Mobile News understands.

Sources close to the distributor said that Hubbard (pictured) was leaving the company as part of a cost-cutting drive. His departure follows that of vice president for services Richard Baxendale, who quit in late June.

Staff are believed to have been told of his departure via e-mail earlier this week. The company has remained silent on the matter despite repeated Mobile News requests for comment.

Hubbard joined Tech Data as sales director of its Computer 2000 division in 2011 before being promoted to managing director of Tech Data UK a year later. In February 2014, the company reshuffled its management that saw Hubbard move to head up its mobile division with Andy Gass taking responsibility for the overall business.

Hubbard’s replacement is rumoured to be former Phones 4u director of trading Matt Child. The executive, also a former sales director of 20:20 Mobile Group, is out of work after leaving his post as chief operating officer of Leeds United Football Club in March.
