YouFibre - a partner in the Northern Echo's Level Up campaign - announced its 5,000th customer just four months ago, and the latest milestone represents a doubling of subscriptions already. The company, which was founded in 2019, has seen exponential growth in recent months and is now live in 22 towns across the UK, with many more in development.

The lucky Cheltenham resident received gifts from CEO, Jeremy Chelot and Managing Director, Ryan Battle worth over £1,000, including an Apple MacBook Air and 12 months free broadband.

Ryan said: “Cheltenham is a special place to us, with our head office in Tewkesbury, and it’s a privilege to be supporting residents with an ultrafast and reliable connection. I’m extremely proud of the hard work from the entire team in supporting YouFibre’s rapid growth to reach 10,000 customers. But we still feel we’re only just getting started.

“Whilst the cost of living rises, we are committed to helping our customers manage their broadband costs, which includes offering no fixed-term contracts and with no in-contract price rises guaranteed. "
