We are Trench Networks, a multi-award winning technology SME. Founded in 2015 with the sole aim of bringing the best possible user experience to clients, we continually innovate through the use of hardware and software underpinned by a solid foundation of 20 years IT experience. Let us tell you more... Our founder, Kevin Latimer spent 15 years managing IT at a Top100 construction company and having to solve the everyday problem of supplying Internet and Wi-Fi to the teams in their site cabins. Having become increasingly frustrated at the lack of suitable options he knew that there must be a way to improve this and decided that now was the time to build his own solution. With this in mind, the focus was always the end user with the aim being to develop a solution that would finally enable remote teams to be able to work in their cabins as though they were in the office, enjoying all of the benefits of speed, reliability and security afforded by that.
After a lot of trial, error (and tea!) Outpost was born! We are now on the 6th generation of our service, and it is changing the face of 4G Internet connectivity and our innovative, multi-award winning, market-leading technology is connecting sites and teams across the length and breadth of the UK. We continually develop our technology and everything we do is developed in-house – designed and built from our in-depth understanding of what is truly required to provide fast and reliable Internet connections in the most challenging of circumstances. Our focus is always on the end user experience and our team are passionate about empowering our clients so that they can carry out their jobs using the best resource and support available each and every time. Because of this steely focus, Trench Networks are are proudly trusted time and time again by some of the largest contractors in the UK. With great connectivity comes great productivity.
Trench Networks is committed to bringing the best user experience to its clients by challenging traditional, outdated approaches to connectivity though its innovative technology and services. Making the Internet accessible to anyone, anywhere.
