Taylor Wimpey UK Partnership with UK Connect for internet solutions

Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest house builders, has appointed UK Connect. as a strategic partner for high-speed site broadband connectivity across all its sites and sales offices. UK Connect the UK’s leading provider of communication services to the construction industry, provides the vital communication links required by developers from the moment construction starts and throughout the sales cycle.

“It has removed one of our biggest operational issues, by delivering fast, secure & highly available communications to our sites in days.”

Taylor Wimpey Said:

“Even with all the technological advances we’ve seen over the past few decades, the fundamental issue the industry has struggled with since the 1990s is connectivity on construction sites. High speed site broadband and communications is mission critical, and we look forward to seeing Site Connect rolled out across Taylor Wimpey’s developments.”

The Site Connect solution from Countrywide Telecoms makes use of the latest advancements in antennae technologies to provide secure and rapid internet access wherever installed. Where traditional fixed line providers can take weeks and often months to set up a working service, Countrywide Telecoms will achieve full connectivity within a matter of days.
