Over 8 years ago, I stepped into the role of Managing Director at Fastcom, transitioning from an accountancy background. Back then, our big question was how to expand nationwide while staying rooted in Sligo, nestled in Ireland’s northwest. Now, as we proudly celebrate 20 years in business, I’m taking a moment to appreciate just how far we’ve come.
We’ve been part of the telecommunications industry for two decades, building some of Ireland’s earliest broadband networks and helping shape our country’s digital economy. From our humble beginnings, we’ve reinvented ourselves countless times to become one of Ireland’s most flexible telecoms providers, trusted by over 1,500 customers.
We’ve forged partnerships with leading infrastructure providers, giving businesses across the country a wide range of connectivity and communications solutions. At our core, we’re all about delivering security, flexibility, and profitability to organisations. That’s why our mission is straightforward: to provide the fastest, reliable, and most secure communications, supported by an unrivaled level of customer service.
How Fastcom Has Evolved
In the early days, our main focus was on carving out a national presence without losing sight of our roots in Sligo. Today, we’ve grown far beyond what we once imagined, from the scope of our services to the way we operate daily.
Remote work has reshaped how we all see regional living, and Sligo is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Whether it’s our breathtaking surroundings, from the stunning beaches along the Wild Atlantic Way to the iconic Benbulben Mountain, or a supportive local business community, we’re proving that you don’t need to be in a major city to do great things. At Fastcom, we remain committed to investing in our people, embracing cutting-edge technology, and delivering Ireland’s best connectivity services.
Looking Ahead: Our Vision
Even at 20 years old, Fastcom’s story is just beginning. We’ll stay focused on innovation, outstanding customer care, and a culture where everyone can grow into their own leadership potential. Hitting this milestone proves our passion for building solutions and forging genuine connections with our customers.
Our vision is ambitious: Within the next 10 years, we aim to stand out as one of Ireland’s leading technology companies. With our firm commitment to excellence, we’ll keep pushing boundaries, partnering with clients to unlock value, and playing our part in Ireland’s evolving digital economy.
