Broadband provider doubles its team in six months
Rural broadband specialist, Quickline Communications, has welcomed its 100th employee as it enters a growth period following its acquisition by Northleaf Capital last summer.
The appointment means Hessle-based Quickline has doubled its team in the last six months. The business says it expects to double its headcount again over the coming year.
Sean Royce, CEO, said: “It’s such an exciting time for us. With Northleaf’s half a billion pounds investment over the next four years, it means we will be creating hundreds of new jobs across the region.
“It’s our mission to level up the huge digital divide that exists between rural communities and urban areas and we’re doing that by building an innovative hybrid network to reach 500,000 rural premises across the North of England.
“So on top of Quickline jobs, there are even more opportunities for sub-contracted jobs for various projects as new masts and full fibre network builds are rolled out.”
The company’s 100th employee, Martin Cook, is the new director of financial planning and analysis.
He said: “I didn’t realise the significance of my appointment when I started but I am thrilled to be working at a company with so many opportunities.
“I’ve had such a great welcome in my first week from all members of the team and I am looking forward to getting stuck in to do my part for the business and for our customers.”
