Up-Connect Celebrates Five Years of Transforming Property and Wayleave Services

Company Overview

Up-Connect, a prominent provider of wayleave and property services, proudly celebrates its five-year anniversary, marking significant milestones that highlight its rapid growth and influence in the industry. Established in 2020 by directors Scott Curtis and Charles Thomas, the firm has expanded from a small two-person team to a robust organization of wayleave surveyors and property specialists spread across various locations throughout the UK.

With an increasing client base and expanding operations, Up-Connect has solidified its reputation as a trusted partner within the broadband and utilities sectors.

A Commitment to Excellence

“Reflecting on our journey over the past five years is immensely gratifying. We’ve developed a business that excels in fostering strong relationships with clients, industry partners, and local landowners, alongside a deep expertise in the technical aspects of the property services we offer,” remarked Scott Curtis.

Last year, Up-Connect was honored with the prestigious Best Business Services award at the UK Fibre Awards, affirming its commitment to quality and efficiency. This year, the firm achieved triple finalist status across several categories including Best in Services, Best Vendor/Supplier, and Rollout Challenge Buster. The company now extends its wayleave support services across 16 counties, including key areas such as Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and East Sussex, facilitating the rollout of full-fiber broadband to some of the most challenging premises.

Industry Recognition and Future Prospects

Within the broadband industry, Up-Connect has cultivated a reputation as a reliable partner, collaborating with the UK’s leading fibre providers while actively contributing to the growth of the nation’s digital infrastructure. Over the last year, the company has secured over 1,000 wayleaves, ensuring smooth coordination with landowners.

“Our capacity to deliver consistently distinguishes us from competitors. Completing wayleave agreements in an average of just 32 calendar days evidences the efficiency and expertise of our team, coupled with our readiness to build relationships with landowners and public sector stakeholders,” noted Charles Thomas.

As Up-Connect celebrates this significant milestone, its unwavering commitment to excellence and leadership within the industry is distinctly evident. With operations that span various sectors, including fibre broadband, utilities, leisure, and sports, the company is well-positioned for ongoing growth in the coming years.
