Description

Airband, the British internet service provider, has announced that it will create 1,000 jobs in Worcestershire and in the South West region of England in 2021. The business expansion is due to the company’s winning new contracts to provide ultra-fast internet connection to over 44,000 properties.

A representative of Airband said the company was proud to deliver ‘life-changing’ services and contribute to bridging the ‘digital divide’.

Airband is an independent internet service provider that works with the UK government, local authorities and communities to build internet infrastructure in rural and ‘hard to reach’ areas.
