WightFibre Awarded Investors In People Gold Award

WightFibre, the leading broadband provider on the Isle of Wight, has been awarded the

prestigious Investors in People Gold accreditation.

The achievement is one only a select few organisations manage to attain.

Investors in People believe that the success of any organisation begins and ends with its people.

By making work better for everyone, we make work better for every organisation, and in turn, we make society stronger, healthier, and happier.

WightFibre is investing £110M to build full-fibre broadband across the Island, aiming to

reach over 80,000 homes and businesses.

The project is largely complete, with 72,000 properties already able to access the service.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said:

“We’d like to congratulate WightFibre.

"Achieving Gold accreditation in We invest in people is a remarkable effort for any organisation and places WightFibre among a host of companies that truly understand the value of their people.”

Investors in People found that WightFibre has one single value: ‘Because We Care’.

This value is at the core of everything we do and is branded across the organisation. There is robust evidence that WightFibre truly cares for its people through the employee benefits

package we offer.

Commenting on the accreditation, John Irvine, CEO, said:

“WightFibre’s company ethos is ‘because we care’; we care about our customers, our people, and the Island community we serve.

"WightFibre invests in its people through ongoing training to achieve qualifications and industry accreditations, providing competitive salaries and benefits, and fostering an enjoyable team working environment.

"Our aim is to make WightFibre a great place to work and ensure that work is enjoyable and rewarding.

"The Investors in People Gold accreditation is external validation that WightFibre is, indeed, a great place to work.”
