A spokesperson said: “As an organisation with roots in every city, town, village and community in Yorkshire, Openreach is proud to support The Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards.

“More than 2,300 of our people live and work in the region and our network is the platform for more than 665 communications providers UK-wide and for Yorkshire’s digital economy.

“Recent events have shown us all that great connectivity and technology has never been more important and our engineers have been working hard to build a future-proof ultrafast broadband network across Yorkshire.

“At the same time, they’ve been working tirelessly to keep people and businesses connected throughout the pandemic and that’s why this year we’ve chosen to support The Yorkshire Post Technology Award.”
