    Pole position for Gregor Poynton MP 🏁 We were pleased to welcome the Livingston MP to our nearby Learning & Development Centre, where he got a closer look at the training our engineers go through. Gregor didn’t just watch, he climbed both the 'training' pole and the 9m pole, getting a real feel for the physical demands of the job. It was great to see his interest in the work our teams do, the skills they develop, and the challenges they face. Thanks for taking the time to visit, Gregor!

  • “If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.” Observing #SouthAsianHeritageMonth 🌏 Taking place from July 18th to August 17th, we’re proud to honour the rich history, culture, and contributions of South Asian communities across the UK. This year, we sat down with Hannah Litt Ltd, a passionate advocate for #inclusion and belonging. Listen to Hannah share her experiences and her challenge to us all to think deeply about visibility, #allyship, and the systems we can all help dismantle 🎙️ ️ This month isn’t just about celebration, it’s about compassion, courage, and community too. And we’re here for all of it ✨ Raj Chadha | Ibiere Ihyuman | Belinda Bagge

  • Derek joined us in 1975 - aged 16 🤯 Five decades later, after a legendary run, he's retiring. Based on the Isle of Wight, Derek's done everything from delivering data at the Olympics to fixing broadband with a goat named Myrtle. He's known to colleagues as a technical genius and a brilliant human. And now he's passing the torch to his son Darren, an advanced engineer in our Complex Engineering unit! 👨👦 Here’s to a job well done 💪, a celebratory cruise 🚢 and some departing words of wisdom 🎓 : "Things always change, technology moves on. Be prepared to be flexible and always ask for help if you need it." Thank you, Derek, for 50 years of dedication and skill! 🌟 📖 Today's engineers might be interested to check out the 1975 kit list in the photos below. #WithEveryFibre

    Revolutionising fibre installations with #VR 🚀 Our engineers are now trialling HoloPlan, a 3D scanning and planning tool, to halve planning times, cut cost, and double the number of flats and apartments we can survey each day. By replacing traditional site plans with immersive virtual models, we’re streamlining the process for landlords and stakeholders; who can now review and approve plans with a single click. 🎥 Watch how we’re transforming the way we build our fibre networks 👇 To see how we can bring #FullFibre to your multi-dwelling properties, head to: https://bit.ly/46oUEY4 Digitalnauts 🚀

    Ever wondered what it’s like to be an engineer? Mia-Rose had an amazing time getting hands-on work experience during her Year 10 work placement week – learning side-by-side with her dad Matt, one of our brilliant specialist engineers ⭐ From troubleshooting to #FullFibre build, she explored the world of engineering and got stuck into a range of tasks, alongside our Nottingham and Lincoln team👷♀️ A proud moment for both father and daughter, and a great example of how we can inspire the next generation of women into an engineering career! #WomeninEngineering #WomeninSTEM

  • 🎸 Live Forever? These lads just might! 🎤 By day, Brad, Steve and Andy are the fibre-fixing force behind Openreach. But come the weekend, they swap toolkits for tambourines and become the Supersonics – a tribute to the legendary Oasis! 🌟 Since their first gig in 2020, they’ve been rocking venues across Hampshire and the South Coast, bringing classic Britpop anthems to life for fans old and new. With Oasis on their final UK tour, it’s only fitting we celebrate our very own Wonderwalls 💫 Massive shoutout to our Rock 'n' Roll stars – keeping the spirit alive! #WithEveryFibre 👏
