Armed forces support at CityFibre

In 2019 CityFibre pledged its support to the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC). Doing so recognised the skills and talents of reservists and veterans and our belief that the training they received in their military career makes them ideal candidates to help accelerate our Gigabit City build programme across the UK.

Greg Mesch, CEO at CityFibre, said: “Bringing a new generation of full fibre to towns and cities across the UK is no small task. Infrastructure projects of this scale require a wide range of skills but many of those can be found in the men and women who have trained and served in the Armed Forces. By signing the Armed Forces Covenant, CityFibre will be able to tap into a community of people who are highly skilled, disciplined and have all the qualities we are looking for to help deliver Britain’s full fibre future.

“Reservists and veterans have already served their country exemplarily, and we believe this is another chance for them to help the UK by supporting in the delivery of a national infrastructure programme that will bring the transformative benefits of full fibre connectivity to communities and businesses around the country. Former forces personnel are already a core part of our team, but we look forward to welcoming many more members of the armed forces community into the CityFibre family over the coming years.”
