Meet some of the Team

 Mia Foxcroft

Apprentice Support Desk Analyst

"From my very first day it has been great, everyone has been really friendly and welcoming. The induction was very informative and warming and I liked the Freedom Fibre branded bag with the water bottle, mouse mat and notepad and pen inside. It was a nice touch and made me feel like part of the team straight away. I like working within the Enterprise IT team and learning new things every day, as I'm completing my apprenticeship and I feel as though I'm growing as the company grows. I love the fact that no two days are the same."

Mia has a guaranteed job with us now. 

Clare Peters

Market Analyst

"Where to start? On a personal level it’s been so difficult for me to come back to work from maternity leave and it has absolutely been a shock to the system, as I knew it would be. FFL has made the transition so much easier for me by making me feel so welcome, keeping me busy and the option for flexible working has made me feel like I’m not missing out too much on seeing my daughter growing up. I feel at home here already. It has cemented in my mind that I absolutely made the right decision by accepting the position of Market Analyst. I’ve always worked in a lab on my own (which I admittedly love) so working in an office has been a challenge, but with the option to work from home it has given me time to ease myself in nicely." 

 Anissa Kamal

Developer

"For me, I really like the inclusive culture within Freedom Fibre. Everyone is treated equally regardless of what position they hold in the company and you can voice your opinion and be heard. We also have access to a platform that allows you to drive change, no matter who you are in the company.

Working for a start-up company has meant that there are so many opportunities for continuous improvement, and you can get involved in a variety of tasks, spanning across multiple areas in the business. The great thing about this, is it isn't strictly confined to your role and you ultimately are all working towards the overall goal of making Freedom Fibre a success. 

From a cultural perspective, everybody here makes a conscious effort to be inclusive, respectful, and kind to others. This positive environment really fuels you to want to do well for Freedom Fibre, and it is this ideology that makes Freedom Fibre so successful. I am excited to be part of the success of the business. Freedom Fibre has big plans, but even bigger support, from their tight knit community of employees, who are dedicated to getting Freedom Fibre over the finish line and surpassing it's targets."

Shannon Davids

Planning Engineer

"When I first started my career in 2017 in fibre optics planning/design, I fell completely in love with it. Starting out, knowing absolutely nothing about fibre, I was set for the challenge. Living in South Africa, although my home, was proving to be a real challenge, especially with all the problems going on. We decided we needed to get out while our son was still young, and I started to look for work in the UK.  I came across an advert on Indeed late in 2021, for a Fibre planner and I sent my CV to Rachel (NMS Recruitment), we had a Teams call and she sent me a job spec for a company called Freedom Fibre.  She had said they were currently not hiring but she was going to take the chance to send my CV through to them. The very next day I got an interview date, and about 2 days later I got the job!

During my interview process when I was first Introduced to Graham, Keith, and Joanna, I felt straight at home. I felt a sense of calm speaking to them. From the very get go they were on my side. This decision led us to immigrate to the UK. Although very difficult, we decided this was our opportunity to have a better life, and especially for our son. I had to make this journey by myself to begin with, and it was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Leaving behind my husband and son was not easy, but every single step of the way Freedom Fibre has been behind me. From helping organize a house to the very last detail, to helping me with the simplest of things I just couldn't do on my own, I couldn't have asked for a better company to work for. Not just the company itself but the people who work there. The HR team have been truly amazing to me as well as my family. 

Starting at Freedom Fibre in March 2022 was an absolute dream come true. I have never worked for a company like this before, they truly and genuinely care about their employees, and everyone is so friendly and helpful. Not one ounce of judgement, but always encouraging. The HR team made it an easy transition for me, not only in the work environment, but in my personal environment as well. Although still battling with the emotional rollercoaster that I was on, Freedom Fibre felt like a home away from home. I work with an amazing team, and we have gelled well together. I absolutely love what I do and working for a company like this is beyond what I could ever have hoped for. Words can't describe how grateful I am to Freedom Fibre for taking a chance on me. It has definitely been an adventure."

Shariff Tbealeh 

Finance Systems & Business Process Manager

"What I like most about working at Freedom Fibre?

  1. The people I work with.
  2. The freedom to create a way of working that works best for me and what I do for the company, my colleagues and ultimately our customers.
  3. Freedom Fibre's focus on its people as well as its customers.

Coming into the business at an early stage of its life, I was given the freedom to use my experience to deliver on my objectives in the best way I could. Being recognised for my accomplishments and receiving a promotion to a management position within my first year at Freedom Fibre was a great boost to my career and my motivation. Freedom Fibre is committed to investing and developing its people and I feel very lucky that Freedom Fibre is contributing to my degree course, which is taking some of the pressure off my student loan. Being a part of the Freedom Fibre journey is very exciting and rewarding."
