Several key deployments of gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband networks across the United Kingdom are likely to be impacted after the Makehappen Group<\/a> (website offline due to a bad SSL certificate), which is a civil engineer firm, fell into administration this week and effectively put 165 staff out of a job.<\/p>\n

The Leeds-based company first cropped up in 2019 after the FibreNation<\/strong> project, which at the time was part of TalkTalk<\/a> (until CityFibre<\/a> acquired it), announced that they were partnering with Makehappen Group<\/strong> to deploy their own Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network across the UK. Since then, Makehappen has also signed various other full fibre contracts, such as with operators like Upp and CityFibre<\/a> (e.g. York, Chester, Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> CityFibre<\/a>’s rollout in Chester, which had previously been paused after problems with Telent, was only restarted in Dec 2022 with the appointment of Makehappen (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

Despite this, the company appears to have been struggling and the latest update from The Gazette<\/a> lists them as having appointed joint administrators – Neil Morley and Howard Smith – from Interpath Ltd<\/strong> on 18th July 2023.<\/p>\n

According to a report on Insider Media<\/a>, Makehappen recently began experiencing “significant pressure on cashflow after a number of contracts were withdrawn by their customers<\/em>“. Sadly, the business ceased to trade just before the appointment of an administrator, which has left little prospect for the impacted staff to return.<\/p>\n

Neil Morley, Director at Interpath Advisory and Joint Administrator, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There continues to be a number of opportunities, but also challenges for businesses involved in the building of fibre optic broadband infrastructure across the UK and unfortunately, Makehappen was the latest casualty of these challenges.<\/p>\n

As we commence an orderly wind-down of the business, our priority will be to provide support to all of Makehappen’s employees, including providing them with all of the information they require to make claims from the Redundancy Payments Office.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As most of our regular readers already know, network operators are currently under a lot of pressure from rising costs (build, leases etc.), competition from rivals (e.g. overbuild) and the related need to secure a viable level of consumer take-up to satisfy investors. Due to this, several providers have already restructured or scaled-back their build plans, which naturally has an impact on their contractors too.<\/p>\n

Back in February 2023 we reported that another key street works firm, Light Source, had similarly “entered administration<\/em>” and now we have another one. This could lead to some disruption for the builds they were involved with, which often results in many months of additional delays as new contractors are hunted to fill the hole.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 25th July 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

A spokesperson for CityFibre said last week: “We have been made aware that Makehappen Group has entered into administration. We would like to assure residents that work sites have been made safe, and we will remain in close conversation with our local authority stakeholders while we review our plans.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
