Vorboss is the only network purpose-built for London's most ambitious businesses.
Designed with London’s future in mind, it is providing businesses direct access to critical fibre infrastructure, with simple, transparent pricing.
Vorboss is unique in owning its network and service end-to-end, and offers 10Gbps and 100Gbps connections.
Vorboss is part of the Fern Trading Group, advised by Octopus Investments, and is investing over £250 million into its fibre network.
The company operates an in-house academy to train its engineers and technicians to offer a career path to people with little or no telecoms experience. Building an inclusive and diverse workforce is a top priority for the business, especially to address the industry’s significant gender imbalance. More than a third of Vorboss’ engineer workforce is female, and the company has committed to reach gender parity across the organisation by 2028.
