The Spring Budget has failed to recognise the importance of connectivity infrastructure in supporting growth for the UK's digital economy, says Evolve CEO Alan Stephenson-Brown, who seeks more clarity as networks continue to be rolled out.
“Despite the chancellor’s promises made in October to boost digital infrastructure and support the growth of the digital and technology sectors, it still remains to be seen if the government will deliver on these commitments," he said, referring to the Autumn budget where Rachel Reeves committed over £500m to support ongoing projects like Project Gigabit and the Shared Rural Network.
"This is desperately needed to bridge the digital divide and support businesses in underserved areas. For Evolve, as a managed network solutions provider, the pressure to deliver reliable, scalable connectivity is even higher now.
"As digital transformation continues across industries, securing high-performance networks has become essential. It’s clear to us that sustained investment in connectivity infrastructure is crucial for driving productivity and supporting growth in our increasingly digital economy, and would have liked to see this recognised in the Spring statement.”
