First Class Comms Secures Major Connectivity Project for Cotswold Outdoor Group’s New UK Headquarters
First Class Comms is proud to announce a landmark partnership with the Cotswold Outdoor Group, delivering a fully resilient, enterprise‑grade connectivity solution to support the organisation’s new UK head office in Swindon. This collaboration marks another significant step in our mission to help UK businesses stay connected, competitive, and ready for the future.
The new headquarters will unite key business functions across Cotswold Outdoor Group’s portfolio of leading outdoor retail brands, creating a central hub for operations, digital services, and growth. With this consolidation comes a critical need: robust, resilient and future‑proofed connectivity.
Building a Network Designed for Growth
As digital operations continue to expand—especially in areas like e‑commerce, logistics, and cloud‑driven systems—Cotswold Outdoor Group identified uninterrupted connectivity as essential for both day‑to‑day operations and long‑term business transformation.
First Class Comms will deliver:
Dual‑path, geographically diverse internet connectivity
A resilient design that protects against fibre breaks, localised outages, or upstream carrier failures.
Maximum uptime and business continuity
Ensuring the new HQ remains fully operational—even when one route encounters disruption.
A future‑ready network architecture
Built to support continued digital growth, system upgrades, and evolving infrastructure needs.
This design ensures Cotswold Outdoor Group has the scalability it needs to keep pace with a rapidly changing digital landscape.
A Partnership Based on Performance and Trust
Speaking on the project, Mark Burland, Managing Director at First Class Comms, shared:
“Cotswold Outdoor Group depends on high‑performance connectivity to support both daily operations and long‑term digital transformation, and our solution will keep their teams connected and their business moving.”
At First Class Comms, we understand that connectivity is more than just broadband—it’s the backbone of modern business. From cloud systems to customer service platforms, from onsite systems to remote teams, organisations today need reliability, speed, and resilience baked into every layer of their network.
This project embodies what we do best: engineering telecoms solutions that deliver confidence, continuity, and capability.
Supporting a Smooth Launch in 2026
Work on the project is already underway, and installation is scheduled to align with the new office’s operational go‑live date in 2026. As Cotswold Outdoor Group prepares to bring its business functions together under one roof, our connectivity partnership ensures the infrastructure is there to support its strategic growth.
