"Having led the UK's leading broadband provider through a decade of "unprecedented investment and transformation", Clive Selley is to step down as chief executive officer of Openreach at the end of March 2026, to be replaced by current deputy CEO Katie Milligan. A wholly owned and independent subsidiary of the BT Group, Openreach said that its infrastructure is already becoming the backbone of Britain's digital economy, supporting everything from smart farming and sustainable transport to remote working and virtual healthcare."
"Employing around 27,000 people, it is aiming to make its full-fibre network available to as many as 30 million premises in all corners of the UK by the end of the decade and has invested £15bn to build a new infrastructure to 25 million homes and businesses by the end of 2026. For the year up to the end of March 2025, Openreach reported revenues of £6.157bn."
"Openreach claims to be building its new network to connect customers faster and further than any other provider in the UK, reaching an average of 85,000 new premises every week. In total, more than 3,500 UK towns, cities, boroughs, villages and hamlets have so far been included in the build programme, with others being reached through publicly funded partnerships. The operator describes its build-out project as one of the largest and fastest broadband infrastructure programmes in Europe."
