London, 28 May 2025 – Vorboss, London’s leading provider of direct internet for business, has been recognised for the fourth year running by the City of London Corporation’s Considerate Contractor Streetworks Scheme for delivering “exemplary” work.
This recognition reflects Vorboss’ commitment to the highest standards across the City and its ongoing contribution to making London a better connected, future-ready capital. The scheme challenges engineering teams to exceed legal requirements when working on streets and pavements in the Square Mile, aiming to ensure safety, minimise disruption, and improve conditions for everyone who lives, works, or travels through the area.
Participating companies are assessed on planning and coordination, accountability, responsiveness, and alignment with the City’s business priorities.
Rhod Morgan, Chief Operating Officer at Vorboss, credits the achievement to the company’s investment in its people:
“This award is a direct result of our strategy to train, and support our in-house teams. We’ve hired and built a talented and diverse workforce, and we’re proud that our training academy continues to raise the bar for quality delivery in the City."
Headquartered in the Square Mile, Vorboss remains at the forefront of delivering high-performance, reliable internet to businesses across London. This recognition reinforces Vorboss’ role in shaping the City’s digital infrastructure and supporting its future digital capabilities, with the company investing over £250 million in its dedicated network.
The company’s field technicians are trained at an in-house academy that offers a clear career path into telecoms. More than one-third of the team are women, and Vorboss is proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

Vorboss, London’s leading fibre network built exclusively for business, today announced the expansion of its managed services portfolio, reinforcing its position as the trusted single provider for the city’s enterprise connectivity needs. This strategic move reflects the growing demand for comprehensive, resilient services from a single, expert partner – particularly in light of the increasing complexity of cybersecurity threats and IT infrastructure.
- London businesses can now consolidate connectivity, managed services, and cybersecurity, backed by the fastest fibre network built exclusively for businesses
- Completed acquisitions of 40fi (cybersecurity) and Optimity (managed services), and strategic investment in Layer8 (network management for commercial real estate)
- 80+ new specialists join Vorboss, expanding total workforce to nearly 400
As part of this strategy, Vorboss has closed three acquisitions designed to broaden its capabilities beyond its core strength in managed network infrastructure. Among these are 40fi, a respected cybersecurity business, and Optimity, a leading provider of managed IT services. Together, these acquisitions bring an additional 80 experienced professionals into the Vorboss team, significantly enhancing the company’s ability to deliver end-to-end solutions for London’s most demanding businesses. Vorboss is excited to welcome the hundreds of customers that Optimity and 40fi serve across the UK today, and look forward to continuing the high levels of customer service and technical expertise currently provided.
This expansion addresses a clear and urgent need from Vorboss customers: the ability to consolidate connectivity, IT, and security under one accountable provider. By integrating cybersecurity expertise and managed IT services capabilities into its offering, Vorboss is now uniquely positioned to provide a comprehensive suite of services – spanning secure network infrastructure, endpoint management, threat mitigation, and strategic IT and cybersecurity consultancy.
Tim Creswick, CEO of Vorboss:
“Vorboss has a long history in managed services, but for the last 6 years, our focus has been on delivering the best enterprise fibre network London has ever seen. That has been a huge project, commanding millions of hours of labour from our team, and we are now connecting thousands of business customers to that network – all at 10Gbps and above. I’m excited that we’re now able to return to some of our managed services roots, with the timely addition of cybersecurity services. These are things that our customers and partners ask us about all the time. As operators of extensive, high-capacity infrastructure, we have a huge amount of real expertise in-house already, so customers know that they’re getting advice from real practitioners, not just consultants.
The addition of the Optimity and 40fi teams gives us some immediate scale to address those customer needs, with the same vertically integrated, high quality approach that they’ve come to love from us”.
In addition, Vorboss has also invested in Layer8, a first-of-a-kind software platform enabling building operators to automate, manage, and monetise their networks. Designed for commercial real estate environments, Layer8 gives building managers, managed service providers (MSPs), and non-technical users simple, secure control over on-site network infrastructure.
