Vickers to leave mobile operator 3
As part of a major company reorganization, Paul Vickers is set to leave his general counsel post with Hutchison 3G UK, Ltd. Having joined the company in 2002, Vickers was instrumental in a number of corporate deals and licenses. Prior to working for 3G, he was Head of Commercial and Legal Services at technology investment leader Antfactory. 3G has decided not to relist on the stock exchange, and its workload for its general counsel post has been reduced; both of these factors mean that it will no longer need to rely on Vickers’ services. Popularly known as 3, the company is one of the UK’s leading mobile media companies providing communications, entertainment, and information services.
