Councillor Emrys Wynne, lead member for Welsh language, culture and heritage, said: “Digital connectivity is essential for business growth and sustainability.

“Through this service, we’re making sure Denbighshire businesses aren’t left behind and have access to the support they need to thrive in the digital age.

“We understand the pressures local businesses face, and this service is one way we’re helping to remove barriers and create opportunities for growth.”

The fully funded service, supported by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund, is available at no cost to all businesses in Denbighshire.

A dedicated digital officer will provide tailored advice, investigate issues, engage with providers such as Openreach, and deliver detailed reports on existing connections and potential solutions.

The scheme comes as Openreach continues its fibre network expansion across the region.

It also aims to help businesses navigate the many government schemes currently available for improving digital infrastructure.

Businesses can contact digital officer Philip Burrows for support at philip.burrows@denbighshire.gov.uk.
