Northern Ireland broadband provider Fibrus has won a contract worth £108 million which will improve connectivity across Cumbria.
The deal will see the Belfast company deliver full fibre broadband to 60,000 hard-to-reach households in the north west England county under the government’s Project Gigabite, and at the same time create 90 apprenticeships.
Fibrus is in the process of carrying out similar work across Northern Ireland under Project Stratum and said the latest deal is its biggest yet. Installation work in Cumbria has already begun.
