Quickline helps Yorkshire rural entrepreneurs grow

Quickline is marking the start of its new partnership with the Centre for Digital Innovation (C4DI) following a successful first joint event supporting a group of talented entrepreneurs.

Through this collaboration, the altnet provider and C4DI will be delivering a programme of workshops, innovation days and training sessions, all aimed at helping local businesses across east Yorkshire and north Lincolnshire to thrive.

The partnership officially launched earlier this month with a special open day at C4DI, where attendees got a taste of what’s to come.

At the event, entrepreneurs joined business owner Christina Colmer McHugh for a session on the importance of a growth mindset in business.

Colmer McHugh said: “I shared some growth mindset content to get them thinking about themselves and where they are as a person and with the business and trying to develop the resilient mentality and also gave some honest truths and authenticity about what it is like in a start-up world.”

Rachel Bowerman, Social Value Team Leader at Quickline added: “At Quickline, we’re focused on supporting rural communities and connecting more people to gigabit-speed broadband. Supporting rural businesses is a key part of our mission too.”

Following the success of this first event, the next workshops are planned to take place in east Yorkshire and north Lincolnshire.
