Vorboss anniversary: introducing Matt
'It's not so much how big we've become as a business; it's more our reputation. If we're the go-to, obvious choice for businesses when they need a new Internet Service Provider, that will signify that we've made it.'
Looking ahead
We've had some remarkable achievements this year: expanding our fibre network across Central London, launching several new products, being recognised as one of the Best Places to Work by The Sunday Times, and, of course, connecting all our incredible customers.
This anniversary series showcases some of the dedicated team members who have made Vorboss a success. Every single person our customers interact with works in-house; they are the fabric of our business, and we are grateful for them!
