Full fibre provider also highly commended for the Vendor Executive Leadership Team and Vendor People and Culture Team awards
CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform, has been awarded a Channel Champions Award for Vendor Best Sales Support Team. In addition, the company was highly commended in two further categories – Vendor Executive Leadership Team and Vendor People and Culture Team.
Putting its people at the heart of everything it does is an ethos which is proving hugely successful for the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform, as CityFibre is named as a finalist in six categories including the ‘People and Culture’ category in the Channel Champion Awards.
It’s one of six honours CityFibre is up for at the awards, recognising the dedication and achievements of the company’s sales, sales support, marketing and executive leadership teams.
The Channel Champion Awards, previously known as the Comms Dealer Sales & Marketing Awards, were recently rebranded to expand their recognition to a wider range of teams and organisations across the channel and acknowledge their contributions to their organisations’ success.
CityFibre, the UK’s
largest independent Full Fibre platform, has appointed CloudConnX as a City
Champion for Eastbourne as part of a full fibre roll out that is set to open up
new game changing connectivity services to businesses in the town.
As a City Champion, CloudConnX will have the opportunity to offer the unrivalled speed, reliability, and value of CityFibre’s full fibre to business customers in Eastbourne as the brand new network in the town is lit up in 2021, part of an up to £4bn national investment to reach up to 8 million homes and businesses across the UK by 2025.
With an open access network set to reach up to 8 million premises, CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform, has opened its doors to ISPs across the UK to build on their success with residential full fibre broadband. Head of Sales for Consumer ISPs, Emma Goodwin, discusses what opportunities await traditionally business-focused ISPs looking for new growth.
Responsible for attracting, enabling and supporting ISPs in taking CityFibre
services to market, Goodwin believes there is a fantastic opportunity,
especially for those partners that have, up to now, focused on serving
businesses and are looking to broaden their horizons and enter a new
market.
“We’re already moving fast but we want to move even faster” said Goodwin. ”Our build programme is progressing swiftly and that’s really exciting. Typically, we will reach almost every premise in each of the towns and cities we’re building in, so there is every reason for our ISP partners to offer and provide full fibre services to consumers.”
CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform, is supporting
wholesale partners and their business customers as they return to their
offices and/or adopt new hybrid working practices, by making its
popular Ethernet Flex solution even more flexible with a new six-month promotion.
The upcoming return to the office and an increase in the adoption of hybrid working practices has left many businesses uncertain of their immediate bandwidth requirements as they reassess the rapidly evolving needs of their staff and organisation. Whilst that makes this the perfect time to evaluate their current connectivity needs, committing to new long-term connectivity contracts can potentially be daunting due to the current economic climate and ongoing pandemic uncertainty.
That’s why CityFibre have launched a new six-month promotion, providing even more flexibility across its Ethernet Flex solution.
Matt Walker, Director of Customer Delivery and Assurance
CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform, has strengthened its commitment to delivering a superior customer experience with the appointment of comms industry veteran, Matt Walker as its new Director of Customer Delivery and Assurance.
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, previously holding roles such as Director of Customer Service for consumer business at Openreach and senior roles in Group Strategy at BT Technology, Matt brings a wealth of customer service knowledge and experience to his new position.
When asked what attracted him to CityFibre, he said: “CityFibre is a really exciting and vibrant company that is not only committed to the delivery of full fibre services across the UK, but is also committed to delivering exceptional customer experiences.
Windsor Telecom, a company focused on making technology easy and enjoyable for businesses of all sizes, is excited to focus on delivering the benefits of CityFibre’s full fibre services to businesses in Reading, Maidenhead, Slough and Bracknell.
CityFibre, the UK’s third national digital infrastructure platform, has appointed Windsor Telecom as a City Champion for Reading, Maidenhead, Slough, and Bracknell – continuing its commitment to driving the full fibre message out to as many businesses as possible in the region.
For Windsor Telecom, the agreement provides the opportunity to offer the fast speeds and reliability of full fibre to its customers at an attractive price; a proposition that companies in these four economically-strong areas will welcome.

CityFibre, the UK’s third national digital infrastructure platform, continues to expand the opportunity for channel partners by opening up access to its full fibre Ethernet services for businesses in Derby.
This is further great news in Derby’s exciting digital revolution. It follows the announcement in June 2020 that CityFibre
is investing £45m into its state-of-the-art full fibre network in the
city, part of a wider up to £4bn investment to bring full fibre to up to
eight million UK homes, largely by 2025.
According to research from economic consultancy Regeneris,
full fibre connectivity will have a major impact in Derby over the next
15 years. Access to full fibre could unlock £39m in business
productivity and innovation, while a further £21m in growth could be
driven from new business start-ups, with enhanced connectivity making it
easier and less expensive to set up base and run efficiently.
The UK’s third digital infrastructure platform, CityFibre, and leading wholesale-only network provider Virtual1 have jointly announced a collaborative partnership to serve the UK connectivity channel with full fibre business services.
Through the partnership, Virtual1 is enabling its partners to access CityFibre’s differentiated business Ethernet infrastructure in its full fibre towns and cities across the UK from February; while CityFibre leverages Virtual1’s national network to deliver fibre options beyond its own full fibre footprint to provide ‘off-net’ choice to its partners.
Virtual1 has interconnected with CityFibre to leverage its network and enable 600+ channel partners to serve their business customers with a portfolio of 100Mbps to 1Gbps full fibre Ethernet products in 28 cities, expanding further as CityFibre continues its UK wide rollout.
Posted on Oct 29 2020 by Andy Wilson | Comments Off on CityFibre scoops coveted channel award for delivering superior sales and marketing support to wholesale partners
CityFibre, the UK’s third digital infrastructure platform, has been awarded the Comms National Award for Best Channel Support Service in recognition of the superior levels of sales and marketing support it provides for wholesale partners. The company was highly commended in the Best Supplier Innovation Award category for its Ethernet Flex product.
Earlier in the year, CityFibre restructured its sales and marketing teams to focus on specific partner verticals. This enabled it to tailor support more effectively, providing specific advice and guidance, co-branded materials, and funded campaign support for wholesale partners delivering full fibre connectivity.
The award also recognised the recent promotions and incentives launched by CityFibre, such as the ‘90 days deferred billing’ and ‘buy now, pay later (or not at all)’ promotions. These were developed in direct response to partner feedback in order to support channel partners through the pandemic.
