Kirklees Project Update

CityFibre completes first 20% of Kirklees CORE roll-out and announces first service provider partner Abzorb

CityFibre (AIM: CFHL), a leading designer, builder, owner, and operator of fibre optic infrastructure in UK towns and cities, today confirms that Kirklees is well on its way to becoming one of the best digitally connected regions in the UK as its 72km ultra-fast, pure fibre network reaches 20% deployment.

The network, built by CityFibre, is designed to serve Kirklees' business community with future-proof internet connectivity. Abzorb will be the first service provider to deliver services over the CORE network, and CityFibre will announce further partners as they come on board. Abzorb will be offering businesses gigabit speed services and communication solutions providing real productivity advantages.

Construction began apace in March 2015 and the first businesses and public sector sites in Huddersfield will be able to receive services over the gigabit speed fibre network from September. Construction of the infrastructure began in the town centre and will be extended across the town over the next 12 months.

To date over 250 local businesses have registered their interest on the Kirklees CORE website and those businesses looking for faster, more agile services are urged to do the same at www.kirkleescore.com. Registration is not an obligation to take service, but by registering, organisations can signal their desire to be included in the network route. Registered businesses will also be checked for eligibility for a government voucher scheme* which offers financial grants to cover connection costs.

Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer of CityFibre, commented:

"We are delighted that construction work has begun, and our carefully planned roll-out will start to bring gigabit connectivity to business from September this year. It's great to have Abzorb, a Yorkshire based service provider with over 20 years' experience serving local and national businesses, on board and offering services today. We urge businesses to register their interest on the Kirklees CORE website, to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their productivity and profitability."

\* The 'SuperConnected Cities' scheme launched by the Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport offers vouchers of up to £3,000 for SMEs to access ultra-fast connectivity. All businesses registering for the Kirklees CORE will be evaluated for the voucher scheme. For further information, visit www.connectionvouchers.co.uk.

About CityFibre:

CityFibre enables gigabit connectivity through designing, building, owning, and operating fibre optic network infrastructure. It is the largest independent provider of fibre infrastructure to mid-sized cities and major towns across the UK, providing gigabit-capable infrastructure for enterprise and public sector organisations, service providers, mobile network operators and businesses.

To date the Company has launched five Gigabit City projects in York, Peterborough, Coventry, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, where city-wide pure fibre networks known as 'COREs' bring world-class Internet connectivity and the benefits of gigabit speeds to every aspect of the city's community. The CityFibre COREs are deployed using the Company's Well Planned City (WPC) design philosophy, in which its city-wide core fibre infrastructure is designed with thousand-strand fibre cables in dual ducts optimally routed to serve the present and future demand of the public sector, mobile base stations, business park estates, and ultimately designed to serve as feeder and distribution network for Fibre-to-the- Home deployments.
