- Where were you born?
I am from Nottingham, England and just over 20 years ago at the age of 13 I moved to Cómpeta with my family. - Tell me about your family?
I met my wife Anabel 14 years ago whilst studying in Cómpeta, we were married just over 4 years ago and shortly afterwards I opened the Axarfusión offices in Competa. Around 14 months ago our first son Martín arrived and just a couple of weeks ago our second son Pablo was born. - When did you start your business and why?
As many people will already know, I have been involved in the telecommunications / internet business for many years. My first experienced was working for Kim Jorgensen back in 2007. After getting hooked on the work I decided to go to college for two years to improve my knowledge and prepare myself for this ever growing industry. My experience grew working for another local internet company. Then in 2016, I was head hunted by Axartel, a much larger company. At Axartel I discovered the world of Fibre Optics! Quite soon after joining the Axartel team I noticed that Competa was in need of better internet and telephone services. After creating a business plan I set out on a mission to start my own business. My first goal was to offer a fibre optic network for Competa and high quality rural internet services. This quickly became reality in 2018 when we opened the doors for business. From that day on it has been Last year we initiated and finished our Fibre network in Canillas de Albaida and Archez. We improved and expanded our rural network to cover more areas and we have plans to start new fibre optic projects in more local villages during 2021.

Keep your eyes open during 2021, we might be coming to your village soon.
