Business Breakfast: NYnet to create district’s biggest full fibre business park
In this morning's Business Breakfast, we have news on Hornbeam Park becoming full fibre and free breakfast seminars for local farmers.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
County council-owned technology firm NYnet has announced that Hornbeam Park is set to become the district’s biggest full fibre business park.
The expansion aims to support the local economy with reliable fibre broadband and guaranteed bandwidth.
The company already delivers full fibre to Saint Michael’s Hospice, which is located at the end of the business park.
The project is supported by the Digital Enterprise Grant which plans to match investments made by businesses at the park.
The CEO of Nynet, Alastair Taylor, said:
“The expansion of our network at Hornbeam Park will mean every business on the site can have access to fast and reliable fibre to the premises, at a price not dissimilar to current non-fibre services.
"The investment we are putting into Hornbeam Park and the service levels businesses will be able to access is excellent news for our region and will help to put Harrogate at the forefront of the UK’s digital economy.”
Nynet Limited was established by the North Yorkshire County Council in 2007. All profits from the company are returned to the council to fund frontline services.
