Avanti alive and well in Cornwall as this report shows. Doesn't sound like a company going under but then again neither did Flybe!
The search is on for the best of the best as the Cornwall Business Awards kicked off at an exclusive launch event supported by Avanti Communications.
Past winners and finalists joined this year’s sponsors and supporters to hear about all the new features for 2019.
Organising the Cornwall Business Awards for the second year, the Growth and Skills Hub team have been busy introducing new categories and re-writing all new questions. There is now an award for every business to apply for, from multi-national exporters to sole traders and traditional industries to high tech wizards.
The event was supported by Avanti Communications, which is based in Goonhilly and provides high-speed data communications via satellite across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It also runs the EU-funded Superfast Satellite programme, which connects Cornish businesses who are not able to access the fibre network to superfast broadband through a satellite connection.
Project coordinator Andy Williams said: “There are still regions in Cornwall that can’t get fibre or mobile connectivity, but satellite is there and all they need is to be able to see the sky. It’s a great opportunity for rural businesses as better connectivity is a really good growth enabler.”
