Alncom update

Alncom has secured funding to take ultrafast connections from 25,000 to 50,000 rural premises in the north east.

The provider is currently deploying fibre from the north of Northumberland to Upper Teesdale, County Durham and several locations in between.

MD Stephen Pinchen said: “Having passed over 10,000 premises ahead of schedule & connecting over 2,500 customers, it was vital to secure additional funding from our shareholders to accelerate the growth and increase our target.

“Mostly utilising in-house build teams has been the key to the speed of our roll out. We have also deployed a fast-track apprentice and training scheme that is in full flow, increasing jobs and opportunities in the region.”
