Openreach is to hire 3,000 apprentice engineers over the next 12 months to support its rollout of full-fibre broadband. Openreach chief executive Clive Selley said: “Openreach is a people business and our new apprentices will enable us to fulfil our commitments, with an ultimate ambition to deliver the best possible connectivity to everyone, everywhere, equally, across the entire country.” Concerns remains that Openreach’s domination of the sector could impact competition. The company has been criticised for charging customers more than double what it charges competitors and not offering a discount on broadband plans.
