For the fifth year running, Wightfibre are proud to sponsor the Isle of Wight Radio Local Heroes awards which help celebrate the amazing Islanders who go above and beyond to help their friends, family and communities.
Wightfibre CEO, John Irvine said of the upcoming awards:
“Local Heroes is all about people who care and here at Wightfibre we really care about our customers.
