NG BAILEY WINS ANCILLARY WIRING CONTRACT FOR OPENREACH
25 September 2014 – NG Bailey has signed a five year deal to deliver nationwide ancillary wiring services for Openreach, BT’s local access network business.
NG Bailey’s IT Services division has been tasked with completing between 80 and 100 ancillary wiring jobs each week – working alongside Openreach engineers to install specialist fibre network circuits in commercial and business premises. The work will also involve route creation projects with the deployment of trunking, traywork and blown fibre tubing.
