Story Homes is developing a new estate of over 550 units in Whitehaven and has appointed GTC to supply FTTH broadband and telephone services across the site, offering exception broadband speeds. Adding value, GTC’s FTTH technology provides both voice and broadband services of a quality that house purchasers are actively looking for.
In terms of its location, the Whitehaven development has a significance disproportionate to its size. At 550 units, this is a large development for Cumbria and GTC is pleased to be appointed by Story to be a provider to such a regionally high-profile concern.
An initial phase of 30 executive homes, to be known as Wilson Howe, is currently underway, with the first houses planned to be ready for occupation in January 2016. A further 109 units will form the first phase of an adjacent development named Edgehill Park. All homeowners will be able to benefit from fibre-ready homes, where they can simply plug-in to the high-speed broadband services as soon as they move in. In addition, through GTC’s partnership with Sky, Story Homes will be able to offer new homeowners premium TV services including Sky+ and SkyHD, free for 12 months, as part of a moving-in package.
Louise McGuckin, Sales Director for Story Homes said: “We have had great pleasure in working alongside GTC to deliver superfast broadband to our customers on this exclusive development in Whitehaven. Our customers are looking for the wow factor and coupled with the high quality and high specification of the homes at Wilson Howe and Edgehill Park, a hi-tech offering fit for the next-generation is appealing to buyers of our homes. This offers them some of the fastest broadband of any new housing development, and also cutting edge telephony, using fibre to the home services, making slow, unreliable connections a thing of the past.”
Tom Brough, Sales and Marketing Director, at GTC, comments: “We are aware that homeowners not only want the highest speed and most reliable fibre connections but also that they need it to be available from the moment they step over their new threshold. We provide this service to help housebuilders to meet with their customers’ demands and to provide that essential unique selling point.”
