Telecommunications infrastructure firm Jet Infrastructure is set to expand across the UK after securing a funding package from HSBC UK. The Leigh-based company, which designs and builds telecoms equipment such as masts and towers, will use the undisclosed funding to roll out infrastructure in key locations including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cambridgeshire and Scotland over the next three years.
Growth Plans for North West and Northern Ireland
The company also plans to grow its acquisition, planning and estate management teams across the North West of England and Northern Ireland as its national development pipeline continues to grow. Jet Infrastructure works with mobile network operators, wireless ISPs and public sector organisations to deliver critical digital infrastructure.
Industry Demand Drives Expansion
Hugh Morgan, managing director at Jet Infrastructure, said: "Demand for mobile connectivity continues to grow, but there are still many areas where infrastructure hasn't kept pace. This funding gives us the platform to accelerate delivery, expand our portfolio and support operators in bringing better coverage and capacity to communities across the UK. It's another important step in our growth and we're excited about what's ahead."
HSBC Support and Advisory Role
Nicola Loat, relationship manager at HSBC UK, said: "Jet Infrastructure has built a strong platform in a rapidly growing sector and has a clear vision for the future. We're delighted to support the business as it continues to invest in critical digital infrastructure that will benefit communities and businesses across the UK." The funding deal was supported by HSBC’s Equipment Finance and Global Trade Solutions team, including Kayley Towle, Working Capital Specialist, and Holly Knight, Corporate Account Manager, at HSBC UK. It was brokered by Craig Cheetham, of Fellwood Advisory.
Broader Impact on Digital Connectivity
The investment comes as the UK faces increasing demand for mobile data and coverage, particularly in underserved areas. Jet Infrastructure's expansion is expected to help bridge the digital divide by enabling faster and more reliable connectivity for both urban and rural communities. The company's focus on public sector and operator partnerships positions it to play a key role in the UK's digital infrastructure strategy.
