We’ve have been asked to make local businesses aware that there is funding still available for to support the supply, installation and 12 months running costs of faster broadband in the local area.

The funding covers the cost to upgrade the external Openreach network in order to increase your broadband speeds with fibre fibre optic cabling.

As a local business licensed to work with Openreach, we are keen to spread the word about the above funding which is available to you. We are able to identify if you’re premises are able to achieve this. The funding is there to increase your productivity, therefore can also cover the internal aspect of your business such as the upgrading of certain IT equipment and phone systems (subject to the broadband speeds being increased first).

I would greatly appreciate if you could let me know that this might be of any use to you as some projects require a certain level of local interest to progress. Please drop Stephen a line via spogden@portelav.co.uk with your postcode and he will let you know if you are in the catchment area.
