Description

About Us:

Cuckoo have been on quite a journey under Fern Trading Group, with our aim being simple - to be the best and most trusted ISP, working to disrupt the UK broadband market by prioritising service and customer experience. We have got off to a great start, having been voted the UK's best broadband provider for customer service twice

This year our journey continues and in a big way - in February 2023 Fern Trading announced the consolidation of
Cuckoo, Giganet, Jurassic Fibre, Swish Fibre, and
AllPoints Fibre into a single Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) operating entity to accelerate full-fibre delivery in the UK.

The unification of these businesses will enable us to combine resources, knowledge and expertise to hasten and grow full fibre network access across the UK.

Now, by combining our regional operations, we are building a national ISP alongside a national wholesale network that can serve millions and achieve our new joint mission to be the UK's most recommended way to connect.

We're offering a circa salary of £50,000
