Business Serve - the acquisitive Lancaster-based ISP - has poached a top techie from broadband ISP Nildram.

Until recently, Andrew Kimberlee, 41, was technical operations director at Pipex-owned Nildram. Now he's switched to Business Serve with a new job title of Technical Director.

He's been hired to boost Business Serve's technical and operations division as the company looks to offer VoIP and converged comms to SMEs and retail punters.

Business Serve - which employs some 200 staff - has grown rapidly after snapping up half a dozen or so businesses since it floated on AIM in February 2004. ®
