Flexible working case studies

Broadband is vital in creating a more flexible working environment for employees, enabling people to conduct business anywhere as efficiently as if they were in the office. It has benefits right across the board - for businesses and their employees as well as environmental and social advantages.

actnow has a vision to make Cornwall the flexible working capital of the UK. It has just launched a project called actnow flex to work with 50 small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to find out how allowing people to work from home and on the move can improve their productivity.

Here are some examples of South West of England businesses that are already benefiting heavily from a flexible working approach.
