Value proposition
Trusted independent advisers providing support on digital connectivity, network infrastructure, 4G, 5G, IoT & TECS.
We are a team of independent advisers providing guidance on a range of enabling technologies, variously described as digital connectivity, network infrastructure, telecoms, and enterprise IT. FarrPoint is proud to be a B Corporation.
We advise on strategy, technology, procurement and implementation.
We are a team of consulting technologists, economists and data scientists.
We provide experience, expertise and complementary resource to clients in the public and private sectors.
Our Story – as told by our Founders:
When we set FarrPoint up, we three founders had a shared idea of technical advice and client service done well.
We didn’t want to be a typical consultancy.
We also shared deep personal convictions about the importance and impact of connectivity work.
So, at FarrPoint, it’s all about a duty of care to clients and service users. If we get that right, profit and growth will follow.
We take pride in the quality of the work, the impact of the work, and the way the work is delivered.
By Andrew Muir & Richard Parkinson.

FarrPoint CEO Andrew took part in a panel this week at Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) Digital Week in Gibraltar, offering his perspective on #telecom challenges and opportunities. Discussions covered satellite solutions, #spectrum developments, data sovereignty and #AI. Our models and solutions may need some adjustments, but the underlying principles remain the same as we connect the unconnected. The CTO is very much valued by the countries involved, and it was an honour to contribute to the discussions. If you'd like to discuss the panel further, feel free to drop Andrew a message—he’d be happy to chat.
Many thanks to the other panellists for a great discussion: Anne-Sophie Severin Brett Corday and moderator Vashti Maharaj
