Altnet broadband ISP Connect Fibre promotes Jacob Mills to UK CEO
Alternative broadband network and UK ISP Connect Fibre (Fibre Assets Ltd), which have been rolling out their full fibre (FTTP) network across the East of England for the past few years, last week confirmed that Jacob Mills had been promoted from his prior position of COO and had now become the company’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The move means that the company’s existing CEO, Stefan Stanislawski, has stepped down but will remain on as a senior advisor to the Board. “After seven years as CEO of Connect Fibre, I have stepped into a new role as Senior Board Advisor. It has been a privilege to lead the business from a pure start-up to being named Broadband Provider of the Year at the Connected Britain Awards 2026, and I am very proud of what we have built,” said Stanislawski via Linkedin.
Stanislawski said he would be moving on to pursue new ventures in solar energy and AI, both at home and abroad, including in Africa. In addition, Connect Fibre’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Pramit Patel, is set to become a company Director. The Foresight Group also backs Lightning Fibre and F&W Networks.
