A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
toob has opened a new office in Stockton-On-Tees to act as a centre for customer service and sales.
The altnet’s decision to extend to the area was motivated by the local skill base across the region.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen welcomed the joined toob at the opening of the office, celebrating the job opportunities and investment the move will create.
Houchen cut the official ribbon and enjoyed a full tour of the office where they heard about toob’s business and future plans.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said, “Improved digital infrastructure is crucial to unlocking the full potential of businesses across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool.
“Faster, more reliable services are vital to keeping our region connected and competitive and that’s exactly what toob will help us achieve with a new base in Stockton.”
Nick Parbutt, CEO, toob, added: “Our customer focus has driven the expansion to Stockton-on-Tees, which is where some of toob’s customer service will take place.”
