Openreach to create more than 400 South West jobs, including 300 apprenticeships

Broadband giant Openreach has announced plans to create more than 400 jobs in the South West, including nearly 300 apprenticeships.

The provider, which currently employs 3,500 people in the region, said the new roles were part of its largest ever recruitment drive as it continues to invest billions of pounds into its network, people and training.

Nationally the company is looking to add 4,000 people, of which 3,000 will be apprentices, as it looks for engineers to continue work on its full fibre broadband network.
