Case Study: Restoring Supply Confidence for Digital Infrastructure

Client: Digital Infrastructure
Sector: Fibre & Telecom
Scope: Connectivity Accessories · Procurement Strategy · Supplier Consolidation

The Situation

Digital Infrastructure was under pressure to keep rollout momentum high but ongoing issues with the quality and reliability of critical fibre components were slowing everything down. Poorly manufactured boxes, splitters, and accessories led to delays on site, increased labour hours, and missed project milestones.

Procurement teams needed a new supplier fast. One that could ensure component integrity, offer better terms, and react quickly.

Mountrel’s Response

Within 24 hours of receiving the technical specifications and datasheets, Mountrel provided alternative supplier options. We delivered better quality, tighter spec alignment, and faster delivery timelines without compromising on cost.

By leveraging our OEM network and demand forecasting capabilities, we restructured Digital Infrastructure’s supply pipeline to reduce risk and improve control.

The Outcome

• Component issues eliminated

• Procurement delays reduced significantly

• Estimated £1,000,000 in savings during the 2022/2023 supply cycle

• Strategic shift away from major UK distributors like Comtec, Hexatronic, and Prysmian

Client Testimonial

“Mountrel brings a mix of reliability, flexibility, and integrity to every order. We’ve grown our network with their support over the last three years, and they remain one of our top suppliers for performance and value.”
— Charlie Ruddy, Former CEO, Digital Infrastructure

Result

With Mountrel as a core supply partner, Digital Infrastructure achieved greater stability across its fibre rollout programmes freeing its team to focus on what matters most: delivering future-ready networks across the UK.
