Borderlink

Borderlink is a Fixed Wireless Access and Fibre broadband operator serving business and residential customers across Scotland, Cumbria and Northumberland. Borderlink is headquartered in the Scottish borders with depots and offices based at Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Kelso, and Carlisle respectively. Borderlink's current network focuses on rolling out high... speed fibre broadband connectivity across five counties today, with the intention to grow more widely across Scotland and Northern England. The investment - through Gresham House's British Strategic Investment Fund strategy (BSIF) - will be used in conjunction with the various Government schemes available to support this roll-out to significantly accelerate delivery of both rural and urban fibre and gigabit broadband networks. This will initially create 80 new skilled jobs. Borderlink's gigabit network is capable of delivering speeds of up to 10Gbps to each subscriber and is committed to the highest standards of customer service. Borderlink believes passionately that gigabit Broadband brings digital inclusion and can transform people's business and leisure activities and is proud to be transforming its local communities, steering them away from less effective or energy efficient copper-based internet. The £340m BSIF strategy was established to invest specifically in the infrastructure and housing sectors, both identified by the UK Government as structurally important areas requiring local investment. As a closed-ended fund with a 12-year time horizon, BSIF invests with a long-term view into these important sectors.Read More
