We’re up for yet another award! Congratulations to the APFN People and Culture team who have been shortlisted for ‘Best People Team’ by the Investors in People Awards. We’re super proud of our amazing People and Culture team and we’re rooting for them to win!

We were delighted to host the CityFibre Senior Leadership team, Simon Holden, Elsa Chen, David Tomalin, George Wareing, Emma Goodwin, Lucy Gallois, Sarah Malin and Dan Ramsay, at the Reading HQ on Wednesday. Our Exec-to-Exec strategy meeting focused on the combined future of an integral partnership underpinned by a new wholesale agreement, marking another giant leap towards making AllPoints Fibre (APFN) the best route to full fibre connectivity in the UK.   We got to hear all about CityFibre’s plans, with focus on unmatched customer experience, innovative products and offerings both B2B & B2C, their route to 8million full fibre premises passed and their recent win with Sky. In return, we shared our vision as currently being the largest disruptive wholesaler offering frictionless full fibre services in the UK, brought to life by showcasing our compelling differentiators all underpinned by delivering amazing service experiences.   The partnership will unlock access to CityFibre’s footprint of 3.8 million premises passed today and it’s committed to expand its network to at least 8 million in the coming years. APFN will leverage CityFibre’s innovative services, quality and products both B2C & B2B as we continue to locally enable partner exchanges and build out the fastest most energy-efficient, resilient network our industry has ever seen.   Of course, we couldn’t let them leave without our legendary living wall photos and presenting them with one of our signature illuminated fibre trophies to mark the occasion.   A massive thank you to the APFN & CityFibre teams who ensured the meeting was a complete success. Our exciting journey continues.   #WeConnectTheFuture #deliveringamazingserviceexperiences

Our Regulatory Affairs Director Robert Burles represented us on a panel today with Ofcom and others about how the industry should be regulated in the future #ConnectedBritain

APFN CEO Jarlath Finnegan has written for Total Telecom about the launch of One Touch Switch (OTS) and how government and regulators need to support the sector. https://lnkd.in/eigyNPwB Jarlath's piece calls for three things: 1️⃣ For the Advertising Standards Authority to update its guidelines on fibre advertising 2️⃣ For the government to run a public awareness campaign on the benefits of switching to fibre 3️⃣ For customers to be given an informed network choice when they're moved from copper to fibre What do you think should be the priority?

Ronan Kelly flew the flag for APFN in a #ConnectedBritain panel session today! Team APFN are enjoying catching up with contacts from across the industry and discussing all the latest developments.
