Startups
We are a team of independent advisers providing guidance on a range of enabling technologies, variously described as digital connectivity, network infrastructure, telecoms, and enterprise IT.
We advise on strategy, technology, procurement and implementation.
We are a team of consulting technologists, economists and data scientists.
We provide experience, expertise and complementary resource to clients in the public and private sectors.
Our Story – as told by our Founders:
When we set FarrPoint up, we three founders had a shared idea of technical advice and client service done well.
We didn’t want to be a typical consultancy.
We also shared deep personal convictions about the importance and impact of connectivity work.
So, at FarrPoint, it’s all about a duty of care to clients and service users. If we get that right, profit and growth will follow.
We take pride in the quality of the work, the impact of the work, and the way the work is delivered.
