Exascale Named Finalist for ‘Outstanding Business Growth’ at Shropshire Chamber Awards 2026
Exascale has been shortlisted as a finalist for the prestigious Outstanding Business Growth category at the 2026 Shropshire Chamber Awards 2026, recognising a period of rapid expansion driven in large part by surging demand for high-performance connectivity.
Growth Driven by Connectivity Demand
Over the past year, businesses across the UK have accelerated their reliance on digital infrastructure. This shift has led to a sharp increase in demand for fibre broadband and SLA-guaranteed leased lines, particularly among organisations that require consistent uptime, low latency, and scalable bandwidth.
Exascale has responded to this demand by expanding its network capabilities and strengthening its position as a provider of reliable, enterprise-grade connectivity. From SMEs to large-scale enterprises, customers are increasingly prioritising dedicated connectivity solutions that offer performance guarantees, resilience, and direct access to critical infrastructure.
Leased lines with strict Service Level Agreements have become essential for organisations running cloud platforms, hosting critical applications, or supporting remote and hybrid workforces. At the same time, fibre broadband adoption continues to grow as businesses seek faster, more reliable alternatives to traditional connectivity.
Supporting Business-Critical Infrastructure
Exascale’s growth has been closely aligned with these market needs. By delivering robust fibre connectivity alongside SLA-backed leased line solutions, the company has enabled businesses to operate with confidence, knowing their infrastructure is supported by dependable, high-capacity networks.
This focus on connectivity has not only driven customer acquisition but also strengthened long-term relationships, as businesses increasingly view reliable internet access as a core operational requirement rather than a utility.
Leadership Perspective
Commenting on the announcement, CEO Thomas Bibb said:
“Our growth over the past year has been closely tied to the increasing demand for high-quality connectivity. Businesses are no longer willing to compromise when it comes to uptime and performance. Fibre broadband and SLA-backed leased lines are now fundamental to how organisations operate, and we’ve invested heavily to ensure we can meet that demand at scale.”
Mitchell Callaghan, Head of Sales, added:
“We’re seeing a clear shift in customer expectations. Clients want guaranteed performance, rapid support, and infrastructure they can rely on without question. Our leased line solutions, backed by strong SLAs, are playing a key role in helping businesses maintain continuity and grow with confidence.”
Looking Ahead
As demand for reliable, high-speed connectivity continues to rise, Exascale is well-positioned to build on its momentum. With ongoing investment in fibre infrastructure and a continued focus on service reliability, the company is set to play an increasingly important role in supporting the UK’s digital economy.
The winners of the Shropshire Chamber Awards 2026 will be announced in June, but being named a finalist already highlights Exascale’s success in responding to one of the most critical needs in today’s business landscape: dependable, high-performance connectivity.
