London-focused UK business ISP Vorboss, which has already rolled out a 100Gbps capable full fibre network in the city centre, have just opened a new City of London headquarters (office) at Exchange Square (Liverpool Street) to meet demand and support growth.
Just to recap. Vorboss has spent the past four years deploying 500km of their own dedicated point-to-point fibre across Central London (covering most of zones 1 and 2), which we’re told is enough to potentially connect all commercial buildings in the area to their direct internet access and Ethernet network.
However, with that build completed, they’ve recently been more focused upon growing their customer base and have also created 60 new London-based account management roles to help support customers in key industries, including media, broadcast, finance, healthcare, hospitality, hotels and fitness.

Suffice to say that the provider needed a bit more room to expand and have just moved their HQ into a new 2,700 square metre office at Exchange Square, which will house their 24/7 Network Operations Centre. More than 500 square metres of the new space is also being made available to Vorboss customers and partners for working, meeting and networking.
Tim Creswick, CEO of Vorboss, said:
“This new space – close to our network and our customers – will support our continued growth, meeting the demand that’s out there for high-capacity, reliable internet. We’ll be able to better serve our customers and partners by opening up our office to them – this is a place where London businesses can meet, work and collaborate.”
The new facility was opened with an event hosted by Howard Dawber, London Deputy Mayor for Business and Growth, in collaboration with BusinessLDN.
Within a year or two they will start looking for investors to survive or will be acquired.
An old City aphorism “when they start building/acquire new head offices, time to sell the shares.” From what I’ve read of Vorboss, I would counter the aphorism.
There are a lot cheaper places in the London square mile to rent.
