Quickline is collaborating with Hull City Football Club as a new commercial partner for the 2024/25 season, to deliver benefits to communities across the East Riding of Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire.
KCOM has called on Ricoh UK to help deliver its £17m copper to fibre phone network switchover.
Ricoh UK will deliver adapters to homes and businesses across Hull and East Yorkshire.
The two-year network upgrade involves migrating 170,000 consumer and business customers.
The team up has also seen KCOM hire five new employees from the local community who will help pack and deliver the adapters.
These staff have been hired through collaborations with charitable organisations including This-Ability who help young adults with disabilities get into work, Hull4Heroes, Hull City Council and Hull Job Centre.
John Teasdale, Head of Networks & Networks at KCOM, said: “At KCOM we’re always looking at ways we can deliver our business objectives, whilst also support the communities we work in.”
