Avonline Network Services, part of the M group of companies, is looking to develop a long-term relationship with BNE and assigned us our first few jobs, 33km of spine on their Virgin Media contract and 8km of spine on their VX fibre contract.
The BNE Devon, Bristol and Merthyr depots are all part of this exciting project.
Barden Network Engineering has recently been working for Airband on bringing fibre broadband to the historic village of Clovelly. Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) is the programme responsible for delivering superfast broadband to the region. Until now, residents have been unable to access a fast and reliable broadband connection.
The last quarter for Jurassic Fibre has brought some massive changes to process and workflow. We are all super proud of how the depot and workforce alike have adapted to these changes, to ensure we continue to succeed in all areas of delivery. This has resulted in exceeded customer targets throughout April, May and June. Connecting at least 3,000 Homes to Jurassic’s network each month. 3500 in April, 4300 in May, and June bringing in over 3200 connections. Including Cabling, Splicing and Testing over 80km of Core alone. This is all while making a changeover to quarterly build targets which will kick off in July, a great effort by all involved.
The workforce both in office and out on site has grown by 30% or more respectively, which is a testament to the hard work of everyone before them. Our commitment to customer satisfaction and delivery targets has resulted in an increase in work volumes which justifies the growth. This growth is expected to continue, having just signed a new contract with another AltNet called Wildanet. We are also in discussions with Airband, with the hope to kick off that project in August or early September.
Thanks again to all of the team, and keep up all the hard work!
