Broadband builder and provider hires 60+ skilled professionals for full fibre projects throughout Scotland and Northern England

Broadband builder and provider hires 60+ skilled professionals for full fibre projects throughout Scotland and Northern England

With the help of Technical Resources, the company can now secure talent on-demand, across the UK.


As the UK continues its roll-out of ultrafast broadband all over the nation, competition for talent is increasing.


In the summer of 2021, a Berwickshire-based independent broadband builder and provider was struggling to source FTTP planners. To support their recruitment efforts, the company reached out to Technical Resources.


Finding skilled professionals at a nationwide scale

The partnership started with five vacancies in their design team and quickly developed into an ongoing relationship. 


Then, in the following autumn, the company gave Technical Resources advanced notice of further investment to deploy ultrafast broadband throughout Scotland and Northern England. At this point, around 100 vacancies were proposed and allocated to our specialist recruitment team.


Close collaboration delivers the desired outcomes

A large majority of these vacancies were given to our team on an exclusive basis. Utilising our extensive candidate network throughout the UK, our recruitment experts were able to source over 30 vacancies quickly, ensuring that all projects commence as planned.


During this period, Technical Resources worked closely with the company and provided full visibility on the recruitment activities. Every week, two catch-up meetings were held to discuss current candidates in play, updates on ongoing vacancies, as well as the progress of new starters.


Impressed with the results, the CEO had this to say:


"The Technical Resources team is a pleasure to work with and we would not be as ready as we are to deploy ultrafast broadband without their support. The close partnership we have established has paved the way for scaling our business and employees; and we look forward to continuing to work together as we build our full fibre network."

Recruitment or Mud Run? The Technical Resources Tough Mudder Challenge for Centrepoint What do recruitment and mud have in common? More than many realise! Last weekend, the Technical Resources team traded keyboards for muddy trainers and took on the infamous Tough Mudder course, all to help raise vital funds for Centrepoint the UK’s lead charity supporting homeless young people. Between scaling walls, navigating tricky obstacles, and braving freezing mud pits, Our teamwork and determination stood out, whether we were securing top talent or supporting each other through challenges. The same spirit of resilience that defines us in technical recruitment carried us across the Tough Mudder finish line, too. Why Centrepoint? Why Now? Centrepoint is a vital charity providing homeless young people with safe accommodation, mental and physical health support, and essential life and work skills. Their aim is to help young people gain the confidence and tools to live independently. Every pound raised by teams like ours helps secure a brighter, safer future for the vulnerable youth Centrepoint supports. Our Muddy Mission This year, we have set a fundraising target of £3,000 for Centrepoint. All donations are important and appreciated. If you wish to support Centrepoint’s work, donations of any size directly contribute to improving the lives of young people. Our fundraising efforts are ongoing, helping provide opportunities and support to thousands of vulnerable young individuals. A Final Word from the Team Tough Mudder reminded us that the best achievements happen when we rally together whether overcoming obstacles in recruitment, in the mud, or in life. Challenges are easier with a team behind you, and for Centrepoint’s young people, support makes all the difference. We thank everyone who has supported and donated. With collective effort, progress continues towards ending youth homelessness.
