A seasoned industry leader, he brings more than 25 years' experience across sales, commercial strategy, and leadership within the UK and Ireland and EMEA technology landscape, as well as extensive supply chain expertise.

"His deep understanding of the market, combined with his passion for building strong partner relationships, makes him the ideal person to lead our B2B business into its next phase of growth," he explained.

Founded in 1996, TP-Link specializes in the provision of business and consumer networking, ISP, and smart home solutions across more than 170 countries worldwide. The firm's UK&I B2B business has found success in recent times, achieving 40% year-over-year growth and growing its team to 35 professionals, making it the company's largest in Europe.

As VP for the region, Allock will focus on further strengthening the B2B business, as well as enhancing the customer experience and deepening collaboration with partners.

"TP-Link is going from strength to strength in the UK&I region, and it's an exciting time to be part of this journey," Allcock commented. "I'm proud to lead and be part of such a high-calibre and motivated team.

"Our partners are at the heart of everything we do, from product development to service delivery, and we're committed to growing together through trust, collaboration, and shared success."
