The fibre provider community represents a vital part of the UK's economy, and the UK Fibre Awards recognise and celebrate the stand out achievements of those leading the way in delivering the nation's digital future.
During the selection process it became clear that competition to win a coveted UK Fibre Award is intensifying with the number of companies entering this year up on 2024 figures.
This year's statistics also show a significant rise in the number of category entries overall (133 submitted entries this year compared to 105 in 2024). The sharpest upward trend was seen in the Innovation category which doubled from 9 to 18 entries this year.
The shortlist of award entries will be now be carefully assessed by an independent panel of judges selected for their knowledge and experience of the UK's fibre sector (www.fibreawards.com/judges). Each award entry is judged according to bespoke criteria independently by at least two judges.
"Last year's UK Fibre Awards event saw over 500 fibre professionals attend, and an upward trend in the number of entries this year indicates the continued expansion of this much anticipated industry occasion," enthused Greg Denholm, BPL Business Media Deputy Group Editor. "We thank everyone who entered the UK Fibre Awards and congratulate all category entrants who have been selected as finalists. It's now judging time, and we commend all those shortlisted for their achievement so far."
