Barney

Barney is the organisation’s Finance Director. He’s a highly valued member of the team. But he’s not very good at doing his spreadsheets, so someone else does those for him.

Nigel Short

Fast Rural Internet and VOOT Telecom (our parent company) founder and all round good bloke. The person most likely to say “I’ve had an idea” (at which point everybody hides).

Fast Rural Internet provides high speed wireless internet solutions to rural businesses, allowing them to function efficiently and optimally. We are a division of VOOT Telecom.

“We will NEVER sell your business anything it doesn’t need”

I’m Nigel Short and I created VOOT Telecom in 2007 after 15 years working for various UK corporate telecoms suppliers. Their unethical treatment of customers fuelled my passion to prove that honesty and an ethical approach to business will actually create a sustainable business because clients can trust you for the very best advice, service and pricing available. This is what my team does every day and is reflected in the wonderful feedback we receive from our customers directly as well as on our Google Reviews page.

Those principles have guided every decision we have made in over 17 years, and we’re always proud to tell people that we will only provide them services that they need! We are also one of the very few telecoms businesses that openly run under an ethics policy.

We would love to welcome you onboard and provide fast rural internet to your business. You’d be in good company, with our wide variety of clients. All of them are looked after as we would look after an old friend. Just take a look at our Google Reviews!

Thank you for visiting our site. Please have a good look around and get in touch if you have any questions 😊

Nigel.
