Fibretech Uk

What Fibretech Uk does

Fibretech UK Ltd is a privately held UK optical fibre and telecommunications infrastructure services contractor founded in 2008 and headquartered in Aylesford, Kent. The company delivers installation, splicing, testing, maintenance, and diversion services across long-haul trunk routes, FTTP access networks, overlay works, internal cable builds, CATV, metallic cabling, CCTV, and traffic control infrastructure, operating across London, the Midlands, the South of England, Essex, and Kent. It serves telecom operators, utility and traffic infrastructure providers, and construction/civil contractors, offering both primary contracting (direct to end clients) and secondary contracting (subcontracted to larger firms).

The technical proposition centres on a fully PIA-accredited engineering workforce for underground and overhead works, IPAF-trained operators using company-owned MEWPs, and a comprehensive fibre testing capability covering IOLM, ILM, OTDR, FECS, OLTS, and high-order PMD/CD characterisation. Senior engineers carry a minimum of five years' experience and are largely produced through an in-house training regime that is currently adding further fibre, analogue, and activation engineers, giving the firm an internal pipeline of qualified technicians in a labour-constrained specialist market.

The business model is project-based B2B contracting with pricing set per scope rather than via published rates, and revenue is generated through professional services fees on optical fibre and telecommunications infrastructure deployments. Customer concentration is diversified across 17 named enterprise logos including Vodafone, Virgin Media, Zayo, Hyperoptic, Neos Networks, Gigaclear, Interoute, EU Networks, Kelly Group, and several civil contractors. The company is founder/family-controlled under Managing Director Steve Andrews and Executive Director Stuart Andrews, with no external equity or debt funding disclosed. Stated forward priorities include achieving ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 accreditation by end of 2025 to widen tender eligibility.
