The firm is working in partnership with CityFibre on the Glasgow Gigabit City project, a 40-kilometre multi-million-pound pure fibre investment to transform the location’s business broadband offering.

Siegel said that given the project’s launch, “it was vital for HighNet to set up a local presence so that we could serve our rapidly growing network of staff, partners and customers in the city”. He added that HighNet looked forward to playing its role in delivering the initiative.
