After a decade of building its African operations to over 8,000 sites, a 2.0x tenancy ratio and a 54% EBITDA margin, the next year should see Helios Towers move into the Middle East with an acquisition in Oman and an expansion into four new African markets. Helios Towers has been able to improve the performance of its towers and confidently acquire new towers because of its long-standing partnership with their engineering partners Delmec. In this interview, TowerXchange speaks with Delmec’s Head of Engineering & Innovation Damien Kelly and Allan Fairbairn, the Director of Operations and Technology for Helios Towers, about how the relationship works and the benefits for how Helios Towers’ sites are managed.
