This year WightFibre are once again proud to be sponsoring the Isle of Wight Radio Child of Wight Awards. There are so many young Island people who deserve some recognition for their hard work or bravery.
“At WightFibre we use the words ‘Because We Care’ in our company logo. This is because we really do care about providing the best possible service to our customers on the island. We also care about giving back to our Island community where we can and our sponsorship of the Child of Wight is a great way for us to do that. “The Island has a great community spirit and our young people who deserve special recognition. As a local company who are, it is an honor and privilege for WightFibre to once again sponsor these awards and to support Isle of Wight Radio in making these awards special.” – WightFibre CEO, John Irvine
