Quickline has officially opened a new facility in Leeds to support the rapid rollout of fast and reliable broadband across rural Yorkshire and help create and inspire the region’s future digital workforce.
Located in the Leeds South West and Morley constituency, the site will act as a hub to support Quickline’s delivery of its Project Gigabit contracts across West and South Yorkshire.
The facility was officially opened by local MP Mark Sewards, alongside representatives from Quickline and the Government.
As well as serving as a logistics hub – reducing engineer travel time and cutting emissions - the site is home to a purpose-built training centre for apprentices and a dedicated classroom for work experience students and school groups, encouraging STEM learning, digital literacy and helping young people develop new skills.
Sean Royce, CEO of Quickline said: “This new facility is a key part of our mission to connect rural communities across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
“We’re investing in people – creating a place to train, inspire and support the digital pioneers, entrepreneurs and engineers of tomorrow.”
Sir Chris Bryant, Telecoms Minister added: “Quickline's new training centre in Leeds exemplifies exactly what Project Gigabit was designed to achieve: bringing fast broadband to rural communities while creating sustainable jobs, skills, and opportunities for local people, helping us delivering on our Plan for Change.”
