WORK HISTORY
Chief Operating Officer @Wightfibre
WightFibre is the island’s only independent network operator. WightFibre owns and operates its’ own telecommunications infrastructure entirely independently of BT and has secured an investment of £35 million towards building a full-fibre, future proof, ultrafast broadband network across the Isle of Wight. This investment comes from the government’s new Digital Infastructure Investment Fund and WightFibre is the first company to benefit from it. The fund was launched by HM Treasury earlier in 2017. Speeds of up to 1Gb or even faster will be available to more than homes and businesses across the Island, including areas which are not currently served by WightFibre. Full-fibre broadband uses fibre optic cabling for the complete journey from the exchange into the home, rather than the current system where the fibre optic cable stops at the street cabinet.
