Ogi has provided a rollout update to mark one year of operation stating it is on track to deliver its first phase 150,000 premises plan and intends to accelerate its rollout further.
To date, the company has connected Haverfordwest, Rhoose, Llantwit Major, St Athan and Abergavenny, with its roll-out now underway in Johnston, Milford Haven, Dinas Powys and Monmouth. Eight other towns and villages are in the company’s sights before the end of the year.
The rollout has created up to 165 highly skilled jobs within the company and is supporting hundreds more through its supply chain.
Ogi is opening four new offices this month to facilitate growth, including premises in St Clears and Tongwynlais; a network laboratory in Newport; and a headquarters in Cardiff.
CEO Ben Allwright said: “Ogi’s roll-out is bringing connectivity to towns and villages from Pembrokeshire to Monmouthshire much faster than they’d otherwise be served, ensuring everybody has access to the same opportunities for a more prosperous and greener future.”
