We’ve got some exciting news - Lightning Fibre has been named Broadband Provider of the Year 2025 at the Connected Britain Awards at London’s ExCeL!
Gita Sorensen, INCA board advisor and MD of GOS Consulting, presented the award to our CTO, Paul Thornton, and COO, Ammar Jawaid.
Connected Britain is the UK's biggest digital economy event focused on the future of UK connectivity. There are 8000 visitors over 2 days, 300 exhibitors and 400 speakers - including CXO panel discussions from leading network operators and ISPs.
