Who we are
At GoFibre we’re on an exciting journey to revolutionise broadband capabilities for homes and businesses in rural towns and villages across Northern England and Scotland, connecting communities and affording them digital capability equal to their city counterparts, whilst being as environmentally conscious as possible, and creating social value in the areas we serve.
Our story is only just beginning. We’re growing fast and we don’t intend to slow down anytime soon as we play our part in ensuring nationwide future-proof full fibre coverage.
Our story
GoFibre is an independent broadband provider, founded in the Scottish Borders and created out of the need to solve rural and hard to reach areas’ broadband problems.
We’ve grown from a regional wireless broadband provide to a leading fibre network builder and service provider serving Scotland and the north of England. Most recently being chosen in County Durham and Northumberland to provide some of the first Project Gigabit projects funded by the UK government to ensure access to all for ultra-fast broadband.
Big ambitions
As a hugely focused team with hundreds of years’ experience in telecommunications and other industries, our values outline who we are: We have a no nonsense approach, simplifying technical jargon for our customers and talking to them plainly; we work as a team – it’s a joint effort where sales people and HR teams sit next to engineers and planners so we’re close to our customers; and we live life without limits, we’re ambitious, and punch above our weight.
How we work
Collaboration, innovation, commitment, continual improvement of our business and ourselves, are the cornerstones of what creates our collective success.
No two days are the same; the landscape is constantly changing, and we think on our feet, move fast and tackle challenges and opportunities head on. We’re always learning and we thrive under pressure, because we support one another and have some laughs along the way. We’re all in this together, as we navigate the road less travelled, pushing the boundaries of what we can deliver and the professionals we can become. We take care of each other and care about worklife balance and wellbeing.
