Designed to showcase the capabilities of the Openreach fleet at events, shows and schools, these Ford Transits display how their workforce installs fibre optic cabling, to connect a family living room to the rest of the world. Featuring designated zones, resembling both the inside of a modern home, including a television screen, sound bar and power sockets, and the outside world, complete with a telegraph pole, Openreach underground access box and fibre optic cabling.
The unique nature of this project meant the requirements and specifics evolved throughout. Bott’s project team were able to accommodate these tweaks, with designers playing an instrumental role in delivering a functional, yet compliant solution.
I have worked closely with Bott during the design and conversion stages of our two showcase vans. It’s been a fairly complex project, however Bott’s supportive, professional and expert team have really made delivering a high-quality end product achievable.
The showcase vans will engage communities across the UK by bringing our network to life and showcasing the work our engineers are doing to implement a full fibre future.
It has been great working closely with the team at Bott. I am delighted with the overall end product.
Having worked with Openreach for a number of years, it was a pleasure – and challenge – to work on such a bespoke project and an honour to be given an opportunity of this calibre.
