Gresham House through its British Strategic Investment Fund strategy (BSIF) invests a GBP 10.5 million (US$ 14.46 million) into Borderlink Broadband Limited (Borderlink). Borderlink is a fixed wireless access and fibre broadband operator, which serves business and residential customers across Scotland, Cumbria and Northumberland.
The focus of Borderlink is to roll out a high-speed fibre broadband connectivity across five counties, with the intention to grow more widely across Scotland and Northern England. The investment will be used in conjunction with the various government schemes available to support this roll-out in the delivery of both rural and urban fibre and gigabit broadband networks.
