The job that sticks out is a job we did in Spinningfields putting in a fibre link: I have never experienced such torrential rain like on that day. Morale was low but we managed to work as a team and get the job in regardless.

It was a testing day, but it got us closer as a team.

At Telcom, thinking differently is at the very core of who we are. We're always on the lookout for new ideas and as a crucial part of that, we're always keen to support and inspire the next generation of talented digital innovators.
