Q&A

"Competition creates innovation and wakes up incumbents. If it wasn’t for the handful of trailblazing altnets, the UK would have continued our slide down the global connectivity rankings."

"I joined Gigabit Networks because the existing team are driven by a passion for connectivity that empowers communities, drives innovation, and transforms lives. In my new role, I hope to be a part of a future where every individual and business has access to the digital opportunities that full fibre enables."
