Hyperoptic has appointed Mark Bartlett as its new COO to leverage his fibre sector expertise and deliver Hyperoptic’s 2025 aims.

SWS Broadband has taken on 16 members of staff and moved to a new office location in Shrewsbury.
The appointees bring a range of previous experiences including a chef with an IT interest and a military dog handler.
Sales Director Rachel Corner said: “Apart from one person, the new members of staff have all been recruited from within Shropshire, some of whom have made a complete career change.
“While we are eager to advance new projects, adopting a measured approach to delivering our strategic goals is key to sustained business growth.”
The changes follow a £75M investment in the company last autumn.
