The Team

Abbie Cassidy

Marketing Manager

After making the move from city life to country and a spot of home renovation, Abbie got stuck into her role as our Marketing Manager. With a background in Arts Marketing and a love of all things crafty, Abbie has developed a keen eye for which router packaging would make a good arts and crafts activity. Muddy kids and husband in tow, you will often spot her out and about East Lothian of a weekend. With a passion for both marketing and people, Abbie is the perfect person to head up our marketing team.

Patrick Flockhart

Chairperson

Patrick holds the role of Chairperson within a growing Lothian Broadband team. With an impressive travel resume and the ability to fluently speak French and Chinese, it’s no surprise Patrick has the knowledge and skills to see a small business like Lothian Broadband grow to its full potential. Alongside 3 dogs, guinea fowl, quails and a selection of unorthodox ducks, Patrick is a vibrant and forward-thinking member of the community and is entirely vital to the team.

Jennifer Gentle

Resource Coordinator

Jen is our office Gem. As Resources Coordinator she works to ensure that the office keeps a relaxed and happy atmosphere for the team. Having spent most of her childhood growing up in Midlothian, it’s no surprise Jen is a well networked kinda girl. Jen tends to spend a lot of her time Scottish Rallying as an accredited rally marshal - a questionable choice of hobby, especially over winter! Jen is as organised as it gets; 7 notebooks at the same time - no problem. She keeps the flow of the office moving and makes sure nothing falls through the net.

Nic is no stranger to the countryside and alongside 2 kids and Labrador, Bramble, he keeps a busy family routine. He is passionate about going the extra mile for Lothian Broadband customers and his commitment to ensuring those in rural areas receive city broadband speeds is commendable.

The rest of us should take note.
