Network builder and broadband ISP Grain<\/a> (Grain Connect<\/a>), which has been gradually deploying a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network across parts of the UK, has confirmed to ISPreview that they’ve had to make a small number of further redundancies as part of adopting a more regional build focus.<\/p>\n

In case anybody has forgotten, Grain<\/a> first cut c. 20 roles across the country in October 2023 (here<\/a>) and, at the same time, announced a \u201ctemporary<\/em>\u201d reduction in their network expansion “while we raise further capital to accelerate in 2024<\/em>.” The provider is believed to be feeling some of the same strains as many other operators, such as from rising build costs, competition and high interest rates that make it difficult to raise fresh investment.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Grain<\/a> has previously secured funding commitments of c. \u00a3220m (here<\/a>) \u2013 via Equitix, Albion Capital, Pinnacle Group and German Landesbank Nord L\/B \u2013 and initially aimed to cover 400,000 UK premises. The operator has 150 full-time staff and made \u00a348.7m of capital expenditure in the year to 31st March 2023 (up from \u00a311.2m in 2022).<\/div>\n

Grain<\/a> has so far unveiled full fibre builds for over 50 locations (plus sizeable number of new build housing developments), which includes a lot of small-to-modest sized patches of various urban areas like Leicester, Liverpool, Accrington, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Scarborough, Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Hartlepool, Newport, Sunderland, Blackburn and so forth.<\/p>\n

However, the operator has now confirmed that a second small wave of redundancies has occurred, which Grain says is a reflection of their new regionally focused structure.<\/p>\n

Richard Cameron, Grain’s CEO, told ISPreview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are still completing our phase 1 build out and are in advanced discussions on our next fundraising and expect to start our phase 2 build shortly.<\/p>\n

We will be focussing on three regions for our expansion: North East & Yorkshire, North West and Midlands. To align with this regional structure, it has been necessary to make some changes to the organisational structure. Unfortunately, a small number of our colleagues have been impacted by the alignment to this regional focus.<\/p>\n

We are seeing continued strong demand from customers for our products and now have 200,000 homes ready for service, with 27,000 of these added so far in 2024. We have over 26,000 customers and continue to expand our market share.<\/p>\n

We have added 1.5% market share for each month the homes have been live, which puts us at the top end of industry benchmarks. Our operating costs per customer are much lower than the market average and we are on track to be EBITDA positive within the next year.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The figures given above (e.g. 200,000 homes RFS) mark a good improvement on the 150,000 (RFS) recorded on 27th Oct 2023 and customer growth appears to be going in the right direction too. But much will clearly depend upon their current fundraising, and hopefully that will be confirmed in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n

Customers of the new service, once live, normally pay from just \u00a319.99 per month for a symmetric 150Mbps package on a 12-month term, which goes up to just \u00a325.99 for their top 900Mbps plan (take note that out-of-contract prices are \u00a35 higher than this). All of these packages come with unlimited usage, free installation and a router. The ISP also has a social tariff for those on benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
