Richard Askew – Managing Director, Askew Brook Ltd

As the Managing Director of Askew Brook Ltd, a bespoke software systems company in the manufacturing and engineering sector, connectivity is crucial in everything we do. We provide online solutions for businesses and organisations that want an efficient, effective digital strategy at the heart of their business.

Being based in Scarborough means I regularly travel by train to meet with clients across England. As much of the area I travel through is rural, large parts of the rail network are not covered by any internet connection at all, or even 3G. This significantly limits the amount of productive time we can spend when travelling which is a huge problem considering that a trip pretty much anywhere takes a full day.

Having a constant ultra-fast Wi-Fi connection like rail-5G on trains would mean we could work more efficiently and not lose out on valuable time when travelling.
