Kelly Group, one of the UK’s largest dedicated telecommunication infrastructure services and contracting companies, has announced a partnership with Community Fibre, London’s 100% full-fibre broadband provider.
The partnership will see Kelly Group work with Community Fibre to build out its 100% full fibre network across London, which now includes tens of thousands of single dwelling homes in addition to the multi dwelling properties covered to date.
To date, Community Fibre has enabled full fibre connectivity to 200,000 homes and has set a goal of connecting one million London properties directly to the home (FTTH) by the end of 2023. Kelly Group will become a key partner in achieving this growth.
Community Fibre’s partnership with Kelly Group will create 200 jobs for local communities. Kelly Group will recruit, coach and develop trainees from their multi discipline state-of-the-art national training centre in North London.
With over 50+ training programs covered, their bespoke approach to training by full-time in-house trainers ensures each operative has the skills and knowledge to maintain the group’s reputation in delivering a first-class service for their partners and customers.
Simon Burckhardt, COO of Kelly Group said:
“We’re delighted to be supporting Community Fibre with their expansion strategy and mission to bring faster, more affordable internet services to Londoners.
I have been aware of Community Fibre and its award-winning Full Fibre internet services for a few years. We are particularly excited to be joining forces with a company that not only provides an excellent product, which will be key to upgrading London to a true Gigabit city, but also does so with community values at the forefront.
Reducing the digital divide, Community Fibre recently supported communities in London through the lockdown by providing free internet connection to vulnerable households. This is a brand that Kelly Group is very proud to be associated with and we look forward to a successful partnership”
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre said:
“We are thrilled to partner today with Kelly Group, the leading provider of Network Infrastructure Civil Build in the telecommunication industry. Kelly Group will be supporting us in our mission to bring faster, reliable and affordable 100% full-fibre broadband to London communities. Their proven track record in delivering quality installation at scale makes them the partner of choice to significantly increase our network deployment in London and reach our target of one million London homes and businesses, directly connected with 100% full fibre broadband to their premises, by 2023.”
