On last night's news you saw Chairman of BTL's Executive Committee, Anwar Barrow going over the company's stellar performance in the last financial year. But, sources tell us that in spite of the record "year-to-year" growth in revenue, Anwar Barrow may be heading for the exits. And why? Reportedly, because he asked for a "six figure" salary increase and didn't get it. Yesterday we asked him about it, and she said, he will leave eventually, but not just yet:...
Anwar Barrow - Chairman, BTL Executive Committee
"That's absolutely untrue. I took up the post two and a half years ago roughly and under the specific agreement that everybody pretty much knows and the management team and most of the staff, to achieve certain goals. So one of those things was giving the company a clear strategic direction, because at the time that was something that the board wanted to develop more. A second thing was re-energizing the marketing and that is evidence by what we presented today. A third thing was to recruit some key talents to management that we needed to move the company forward. A fourth thing has been to lead the way as far as doing a technical refresh of our network and that is evidence by many things, largest of which is this new mobile network that we are going to launch. So I have had those things as my objectives and certainly when I complete those things, then I will be transitioning back into my private business. The last of which is the launch on this new LTE network, so that's what we are focused on right now - that's what I am focused on largely."
Barrow was named chairman of the Executive Committee in the first quarter of 2014.
