Freedom Fibre and Truespeed announce intention to merge

Freedom Fibre are pleased to announce that we intend to merge with Truespeed, subject to regulatory approval.

This proposed merger represents an exciting opportunity to unite our highly complementary full-fibre networks, forming a larger, more capital-efficient platform. Together, we will have a combined footprint of over 412,000 premises Ready For Service and 70,000 customers spanning the North-West, West Midlands, South-West and East of England.

Both Freedom Fibre and Truespeed bring extensive experience in building networks, growing our customer base and integrating operations. Our goal is to establish a more resilient platform, enabling us to invest sustainably in service quality, customer experience and long-term growth, all supported by our trusted infrastructure investors: Aviva Investors, InfraBridge and Equitix.

It’s important to note that this announcement does not bring about any immediate changes for our customers, partners or stakeholders.

Nathan Vautier, proposed CEO of the combined group post-completion, commented:

“This merger is a strategic step that demonstrates our commitment to ongoing industry consolidation and growth. As we combine expertise and scale, our new platform is primed to lead future M&A and drive broader transformation. Together, we are set to accelerate expansion, create value and shape the sector’s evolution.”

Both businesses will continue to operate as usual while the regulatory process is underway. We anticipate completion in Q2 2026, subject to approval.
