I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in Brillband’s journey with you. We’re now part of AllPoints Fibre Networks (APFN), one of the largest full fibre providers in the UK.

Please read the full press release below:
“AllPoints Fibre Networks (APFN) has acquired Glasgow-based full fibre broadband provider Brillband.
The company will continue to operate as a standalone entity and brand within the APFN Group, and its team will remain in place. Work will begin immediately so Brillband can serve customers across the country via APFN’s open access wholesale platform. APFN is a national full fibre wholesale platform providing one of the largest offerings of full fibre connectivity in the UK on an open access basis.
Brillband was founded to put customer service at the heart of its offer. The company’s investments in its digital-first customer journey enable it to deliver near-instant customer support and up to 900Mb/s symmetrical broadband speeds through the CityFibre network. It has attracted a loyal following of customers in Glasgow and beyond.
Duncan Di Biase, Brillband Founder and CEO, will remain in place; Jarlath Finnegan, Group CEO of APFN and Cuckoo Fibre, will become Brillband Chairman in addition to his current role.
Brillband was founded in 2022, and to date has attracted over ÂŁ1.2M of investment.
Commenting on the acquisition, Jarlath Finnegan said, “Today is an exciting step in APFN’s journey. As the full fibre market evolves, we’re always looking out for compelling opportunities to invest in or acquire other firms. In a short time, Brillband has built a loyal customer base and a strong brand via savvy technical investment and a commitment to automation. I’m looking forward to working with Duncan and the team to take the business to the next level.”
Duncan Di Biase said, “This is a landmark moment for Brillband. We have the energy and the passion to transform how people feel about their broadband, and now we have the backing of a major player in the full fibre industry. We can’t wait to start working with Jarlath as we continue on our journey.”
This partnership represents more than growth—it’s a commitment to change the broadband industry, driven by our shared passion for exceptional service.Â
Best regards,
Duncan Di Biase
CEO, Brillband
