Up-Connect Marks Five Years of Growth and Surveying Leadership

Up-Connect, a
leading provider of wayleave and property services, is celebrating its
five-year anniversary with impressive milestones that underscore its rapid
expansion and industry influence. 

Founded in
2020 by directors Scott Curtis and Charles Thomas, and with roots in Norfolk, the company has grown from a
two-person team to an ever-growing team of wayleave surveyors and property
specialists operating across multiple locations throughout the UK. With a
growing client base and an expanding footprint, Up-Connect has firmly
established itself as a trusted partner in the broadband and utilities
sectors. 

“Seeing
how far we’ve come in just five years is incredibly rewarding. We’ve built a
business that not only excels in prioritising strong relationships with
clients, industry partners and local landowners, but also in our deep knowledge
of the technical aspects of the property services which we provide.
 “ said
Scott Curtis. 

Last year,
the company was recognised at the UK Fibre Awards, winning the prestigious Best
Business Services category—a testament to its dedication to quality and
efficiency, and this year were triple finalists across categories including
Best in Services, Best Vendor/Supplier, and Rollout Challenge Buster.
Up-Connect’s wayleave support services now span 16 counties, covering areas
such as Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and East Sussex, enabling the rollout of
full-fibre broadband to hard-to-reach premises. 

Within the
broadband industry, Up-Connect has secured its reputation as a trusted partner,
working with the UK’s leading fibre providers, actively contributing to the
UK’s digital infrastructure growth. Over the past 12 months alone, Up-Connect
has secured well over 1,000 wayleaves ensuring seamless coordination with
landowners. 

 “Our
ability to consistently deliver is what sets us apart. Completing wayleave
agreements in an average of just 32 calendar days speaks to the efficiency and
expertise of our team, and our willingness to build relationships with
landowners and public sector bodies,” noted Charles Thomas. 

 As Up-Connect
marks this milestone, its continued commitment to excellence and industry
leadership remains clear. With operations spanning multiple sectors—including
fibre broadband, utilities, leisure, and sport—the company is poised for
sustained growth in the years ahead.
