Business UK ISP Onecom to Create 125 Extra Jobs for Growth

Business broadband and communications provider Onecom, which recently secured a £100m funding package from LDC and Ares Management Corporation to help accelerate their “organic and inorganic growth ambitions” (here), has announced their intention to recruit a further 125 workers as part of their expansion.

At present Onecom has around 100,000 customers, with a workforce of around 400 people across 10 regional offices and this will obviously now increase to well over 500. Apparently 65% of their new recruits will work in the sales team and be spread across the companies 8 locations, with a particular focus on its offices in Whiteley, Telford, Shoeburyness and Cardiff.

Ben Dowd, CEO of Onecom, said: “We … are exceptionally well placed to take advantage of the new opportunities in front of us, including the roll-out of 5G, adoption of fibre connectivity and the growing expenditure on telecommunications from SMEs. Increasing our headcount is key to us achieving this. We are also finalising plans for acquisitive growth in the coming months.“
