Up-Connect, an esteemed provider of wayleave and property services, proudly marks its fifth anniversary, showcasing remarkable achievements that emphasize its rapid growth and significant impact within the industry.
Since its inception in 2020 by founders Scott Curtis and Charles Thomas, Up-Connect has evolved from a modest two-person operation to a robust team of professionals specializing in wayleave surveying and property services. The company now operates across various locations throughout the UK, cementing its position as a trusted partner in the broadband and utilities sectors.
“Reflecting on our journey over the past five years is incredibly gratifying. We have fostered a business that thrives on cultivating strong relationships with clients, industry partners, and local landowners. Additionally, our expertise in the technical dimensions of the property services we render plays a crucial role in our success,” stated Scott Curtis.
In 2024, Up-Connect was honored at the UK Fibre Awards, securing the prestigious title of Best Business Services, which underscores the company’s commitment to quality and efficiency. This year, Up-Connect triumphed as a finalist in three categories: Best in Services, Best Vendor/Supplier, and Rollout Challenge Buster. Their wayleave support services now extend across 16 counties, including Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and East Sussex, facilitating the deployment of full-fibre broadband to underserved areas.
Up-Connect has established a solid reputation within the broadband sector, collaborating with leading fibre providers and actively enhancing the UK’s digital infrastructure. Over the prior year, the company has successfully secured over 1,000 wayleave agreements, ensuring effective coordination with landowners.
“Our consistent delivery of services distinguishes us in the marketplace. Completing wayleave agreements in an average of just 32 calendar days highlights our team’s efficiency and expertise, as well as our commitment to fostering strong relationships with landowners and public sector entities,” remarked Charles Thomas.
As Up-Connect celebrates this milestone, its unwavering dedication to excellence and industry leadership remains evident. Operating across multiple sectors—including fibre broadband, utilities, leisure, and sports—the company is well-positioned for continued growth in the future.
