The company behind a multi-million pound project to deliver full fibre broadband to almost every home and business in Derby has made a key appointment.

Last summer, digital infrastructure provider CityFibre revealed that Derby was to benefit from its national Gigabit City Investment Programme, delivering gigabit-speed broadband to commercial and residential properties.

Now, the London-based firm has announced that Dominika Walker will spearhead the delivery of the Derby project.

As the city manager, she will be responsible for ensuring that a state-of-the-art full fibre network is implemented with minimal disruption while delivering maximum benefit for the wider community.

With an extensive background in IT and communications, which she gained during her experience working with software and supply chain brands in the East Midlands region, Dominika previously led CityFibre’s network rollouts in Coventry and Southend.

In Derby, she will be the lead point-of-contact for all the city’s stakeholders.

She said: “A state-of-the-art digital infrastructure plays a crucial role in growing and protecting local economies, so I’m delighted to be stepping into a new role with an organisation that is doing everything it can to transform towns and cities across the country.

“The benefits of full fibre connectivity are huge, not just for businesses, but residents too.
