CityFibre responds to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Budget statement

In a response to the Chancellor’s Budget statement, Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre said: “We are pleased to see the Chancellor place digital infrastructure at the heart of his plan to Build Back Better. As we rollout Full Fibre to up to 8m premises across the UK, we couldn’t agree more about potential for these new networks to connect people with opportunity, support economic recovery, reduce our carbon footprint, and enable countless industries to compete on a world stage.” “The rapid deployment of CityFibre’s up to £4bn Gigabit City Investment Programme will only be accelerated by the introduction of the measures announced in the Budget today to support apprenticeships, jobs and infrastructure investment, which build on the Government’s existing £5bn commitment to rural rollout, and underscore its commitment to a Full Fibre Future.”
