As so many businesses are now relying on
digital tools it is perhaps unsurprising that
93 per cent of those surveyed feel that it is
important for the Government to prioritise
investment in digital infrastructure.
'The coronavirus pandemic has made
investment in digital infrastructure even more
of a priority for Government', comments
Knowles. 'Connectivity is a real issue
for many of the businesses we work with.
The shift to remote working has exposed the
shortcomings in parts of our national digital
infrastructure. Reliability is key - it's crucial
for businesses and their people to have a
secure internet connection they can rely on.
Superfast broadband is essential for some
tech businesses, but for most SMEs, it's
reliability of their internet connection that's
most important and that isn't there yet in some
parts of the country.'
