Alternative network provider and UK ISP LightSpeed Broadband<\/a>, which recently announced job cuts and a slowdown of their plan to reach over 1 million premises across the East of England with a gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) network by 2026 (here<\/a>), has been acquired by Kompass Kapital for an unspecific sum.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. LightSpeed previously secured an investment of \u00a360m<\/strong> from the Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund in 2021 (here<\/a>), which was on top of the \u00a355m<\/strong> they got before that from AtmosClear Investments, Kompass Kapital and Thesaurium. The funding enabled the operator to start building across parts of 32 towns, such as Boston, Bourne, Braintree, Clacton-on-Sea, Market Deeping, Skegness, Spalding, Stamford and more.<\/p>\n

In April 2023 the operator informed us that they were now “approaching 320,000 enabled premises<\/em>“, although after some prodding, we learnt that only 120,000 of those were actually considered Ready for Service<\/strong> (i.e. live and connectable by customers). But independent data from Thinkbroadband<\/a> had, at the time, so far only been able to uncover around 35,000 RFS premises covered by their network, which is an unusually big gap.<\/p>\n

However, as part of that same update, the ISP also revealed that some of their 125 strong team had been notified of potential redundancy and the operator would slow their rollout. “But it\u2019s time for a re-organisation to reflect the fact that we are slowing the network build rate and focussing our resources on supporting our customers and launching new services. We recognise that reorganisations are always difficult. The detailed plan is not yet complete, but it is likely that the headcount reduction will be greater than 19 staff<\/em>,” said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve reported before, several other builders of new full fibre networks – even some of the largest players – are currently known to be struggling due to a combination of issues, such as rising costs (build, leases etc.), aggressive competition from rivals (e.g. overbuild) and the related need to secure a viable level of take-up by consumers. Such issues have a tendency to dampen the appetite of investors, slow builds and put pressure on jobs.<\/p>\n

The good news today is that one of LightSpeed Broadband<\/a>’s original backers, Kompass Kapital<\/strong>, has acquired 100% of the share capital from the Atmosclear Investments Group, which gives them an overall controlling stake in the business. As part of this transaction, Kompass Kapital has also committed an unspecified amount of new capital to the business, which will be utilised to develop and expand their network and ISP offerings.<\/p>\n

Bradley Berger, Managing Partner of Kompass Kapital, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“LightSpeed has exceptional leadership, best-in-class management, and wonderful professionals across the organisation. We have a great deal of confidence in our team and are excited about the opportunity ahead and the role we can play in the UK digital infrastructure space.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Graham Bell, Company Director, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“LightSpeed is thrilled to welcome Kompass Kapital as controlling equity stakeholder. With this new investment, LightSpeed is poised to accelerate its growth trajectory whilst remaining committed to providing reliable and affordable full fibre broadband services to its valued customer base.<\/p>\n

Finally, we extend our gratitude to Atmosclear Investments Group for their invaluable support during their tenure as our shareholder. Their contributions have played a significant role in shaping LightSpeed’s journey thus far.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The deal represents good news for LightSpeed, which should at least enable them to continue building, although at the time of writing it remains unclear how this might impact their existing coverage target and future pace of build. Much will depend upon precisely how much additional investment Kompass is willing to push into the business, since they’ll need a fair bit more funding in order to reach 1 million premises, assuming that\u2019s still the aim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
