A press release informs us today that ntl has appointed Neil Berkett as Chief Operating Officer with effect from 26 September, 2005. Neil will report to Simon Duffy, Chief Executive Officer of ntl, and will be based in the Company’s operational headquarters in Hook, Hampshire. Neil will join ntl’s Group Operating Board.
