Internet provider Quickline has launched a new operational and training facility in Leeds to support the expansion of high-speed broadband in rural areas across Yorkshire.
The site will be key in Quickline’s delivery under Project Gigabit, a government-backed initiative to connect remote communities with gigabit-capable broadband. The new hub is intended to streamline logistics and reduce travel for field engineers, improving operational efficiency and lowering carbon emissions.
In addition to functioning as a logistics centre, the facility includes a purpose-built training centre for apprentices and a dedicated space for student engagement. The focus is on building skills in STEM and digital literacy to prepare future workers for careers in telecoms and infrastructure.
The investment highlights the growing role of regional infrastructure in supporting national digital goals and creating pathways for workforce development in underserved areas.
