Challenge
An ongoing challenge of our client (and their UK competitors) to update the fibre network. The UK was notably behind other European countries with the provision of high-speed internet and faced the additional challenge of a lack of appropriate UK talent to help the industry overcome the issue.
With ambitious plans and very public commitments to rolling out an improved internet service to over 100 cities, our client appointed several suppliers to aid the laying of this new technology.
However, the biggest barrier to meeting this plan was still the lack of civils and fibre talent to complete the work, and they recognised they needed to support these businesses to attract and train up new talent to fill the skills gap.
