Fibrus recruits 100th member of staff and appoints Chief People Officer

The new role comes in response to rapid growth as a result of the company’s recent appointment to deliver Project Stratum, which will see the roll out of full fibre broadband throughout Northern Ireland. The contract is set to radically transform broadband connectivity by extending gigabit capable full fibre broadband infrastructure to approximately 79,000 homes and businesses across the region. This has led to a surge in the Fibrus team, which has grown from 10 to 103 members of staff since its establishment in 2019.

New recruit, Terri Johnston, who has taken up the post of Chief People Officer, explained the importance of a positive working environment. She said: “My role, put simply, is to shape an environment where our people can do and be their very best. I’m an advocate for our amazing people, ensuring they are supported and have the tools they need to do great work, as well as the space and opportunity to grow professionally. This often means putting people before process, but sometimes a better process creates better results and improvements for everyone too.

“Fibrus has built a really strong team of talented individuals in a very short time period. Appointing a chief people officer demonstrates their commitment to building a healthy workplace and investing in their people.

“I’m delighted to be joining such an ambitious team and look forward to contributing to a workplace that people look forward to coming to every day.”

Fibrus continues to recruit for a range of roles from areas right across Northern Ireland.
