Jonny Cross Director - Design
I initially began my career in architecture as a technologist. After five years, I established a CAD contracting business and provided CAD services for telecom design companies across the UK, as well as managing my own projects.
Over time, I found myself working closely with an up-and-coming telecoms company, where I offered design services, quality assurance, staff training, project management, and project delivery.

My skills and knowledge have continued to grow as I worked with various operators and suppliers. Through hard work and dedication, I have earned a reputation as a reliable provider of design services and a valuable asset to any telco design company.

I am eager to continue growing and advancing my skills in this dynamic industry.
