Meet The Team

As experts in international numbering and calling solutions, we at Gtele.com are exceptionally proud of our achievements.

Our success and excellent industry track record are all down to our ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ approach, and without the enthusiasm and participation of our workforce, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Meet the wonderful minds who make it all happen…

Craig Busst

Company Director, aka ‘The MD’

Craig ensures that the internal structures of Gtele.com are run as smoothly as possible. His main responsibility is to check outgoing contracts and make sure they’re compliant with local laws.

With over 30 years of experience, Craig is a veteran in the telecommunications industry, particularly in the international inbound calling market.

Having started his career at Cable & Wireless in the 1990s, Craig has been at the helm of several successful start-ups. After semi-retiring, he was made an offer in 2020 that he couldn’t refuse.

Together with Rav Stephens and Simon Cutler, Craig and his new business partners tabled an offer for Global Telecommunications Ltd, and Gtele.com was born. Two further acquisitions followed (Brayford Numbers Ltd and WorldNet Corporate Ltd). The group is now a global force to be reckoned with.

Simon Cutler

Company Director, aka ‘The Rainmaker’

Simon’s role at Gtele.com means that he is responsible for generating new business. This includes sourcing new leads, opportunities, and innovations so Gtele.com can stay at the top of its game.

Simon is a hunter and dealmaker who lives by the rule, ‘customer is king’. He is a highly accomplished business leader with extensive experience and outstanding results in the telecommunications sector.

Simon has led teams with a focus on strategies around retention, acquisition, and development, as well as delivering sales strategies based on global account management for large enterprises.

In 2010, he was recognised for driving exceptional sales growth, winning the IOD Northwest Young Director of the Year Award.

Rav Stephens

Company Director, aka ‘The Glue’

Rav oversees the day-to-day running of Gtele.com. Alongside ensuring the business is functioning like a well-oiled machine, she also manages client accounts and, most recently, led the migration of a US-based account comprising 6000 numbers.

As one of City Numbers’ co-founders, now part of J2 Global, Rav managed the relationship for the company’s UK, Europe, and North American customers.

Rav is a multitasker when it comes to the many roles she has had to manage, which include account management, new business acquisition, and billing, as well as leading on company direction, marketing strategy and general management.

Clive Goldingay

Client Success Manager, aka ‘The Goal Getter’

Clive is responsible for ensuring each client of Gtele.com has the tools and support they need to achieve their objectives.

After starting his career in the telecommunications industry in 1999, working as a Service Manager for Cable & Wireless selling traditional voice solutions, Clive moved on to a presales consultancy that provided a range of data and IP solutions. He has since been an Account Manager for several telecommunication providers, including Telecom IT & Worldwide ISDN.

Before joining Gtele.com in 2022, Clive worked for City Numbers as an Account Specialist for enterprise and channel partners’ inbound international voice services.

Joanne ‘Jo’ Escott

Customer Success Specialist, aka ‘The Magician’

As Gtele.com’s Group Accountant, Pam is tasked with looking for opportunities to optimise processes to improve efficiency.

“We [Six Star Global] are happy to announce a new collaborative business partnership with Global Telecommunications LTD to help roll out Six Star: Voice to new and existing clients. We’re used to have to go to national-based companies separately, and often weren’t supported and had little interaction with these companies. With Global, we’ve been in communication every step of the way, able to discuss business strategy and thanks to Global being feature rich, there’s great potential for future business with them. We look forward to our collaboration going forward with Global Telecommunications.”

“The quick response and detailed communication with the Global Telecommunications team has enabled Technologent to continue to be nimble with crafting and delivering solutions to our clients. The partnership has filled a gap we have been experiencing in this area for quite some time"

"If we didn’t have our loyal clients, Paramount Digital wouldn’t be where it is today. So, in return, we like to make things as easy as possible for them. Using Click2Call means we can boost conversions and engagement quickly and easily, allowing us to build trusting and lasting relationships. We didn’t realise how much of a help this service would be until we made the switch - but it’s brought down out inbound voice bills massively, without compromising on security. The team at Gtele are always on hand to answer any questions too - both during the set-up process and even now if we have any concerns. If you’re a company looking into Click2Call, we recommend you make the investment and watch your company grow"
