In this session, Sam Calvert, Chief Revenue Officer, will describe how purpose is at the heart of GoFibre’s success.

Sam will outline how the company’s focus on outstanding customer-service, a hyper-local approach and an executive-level commitment to creating long-lasting impact in communities have made the company one of the fastest-growing in Scotland.

On the day we will also present the Purpose in Business Guide, a practical guide to support SMEs at every stage of their purpose journey.
