Working with Us

In In the early days, B4RN projects were carried out by volunteers, who earned shares by digging trenches, carrying equipment, and even supporting with tea and cake.

As B4RN has grown, so has our approach. Today, much of the construction is handled by our dedicated staff and contractors, ensuring efficiency while maintaining the community-driven spirit at the heart of our work.

Community groups and volunteers remain at the core of B4RN's success. Without their dedication, we wouldn't have been able to grow into an organisation serving over 15,000 customers.

While volunteers continue to play a vital role, we’ve also expanded our team to include a skilled team made up of B4RN staff and specially selected contractors. These experts bring the knowledge and equipment needed to tackle the challenges of building in difficult project locations.

Additionally, we rely on the support of landowners who grant us wayleaves, allowing B4RN’s infrastructure to cross their land at no cost. This crucial collaboration helps extend our network to more communities.

Investors also play a key role in our expansion, enabling us to reach new areas previously overlooked by other telecom providers. Many of these rural communities, once limited by poor connectivity, are now benefiting from reliable, hyperfast broadband—creating opportunities for businesses and remote workers. Access to high-speed internet not only supports existing businesses but can also lead to new job opportunities, keeping young people in their hometowns and supporting local schools, post offices, and shops. This creates a more sustainable, thriving community.

To ensure long-term stability, we’ve built a dedicated, professional team with local technical and office staff who have proven their commitment to B4RN’s mission. As we continue to grow, we’re focused on creating more local jobs, strengthening our presence across the B4RN area.
