Connecting Shropshire has been working to improve digital infrastructure for over ten years.

Ben Walker at Connecting Shropshire can provide advice about broadband and mobile phone coverage, enabling businesses to better understand upgrade options and secure improved digital infrastructure for their premises and attractions.

High-quality digital connectivity enables cultural organisations to promote their offer through digital marketing and social media, sell tickets and products online, and provide live-streamed or on-demand cultural experiences. It can also improve the visitor experience through mobile ticketing, digital interpretation, interactive content, and reliable contactless payments.

For cultural businesses in rural areas in particular, better connectivity can reduce the disadvantages of location, making it easier to attract visitors, collaborate with partners, and access skills and funding opportunities.

Better digital connectivity can support the growth, resilience, productivity, and accessibility of the cultural sector, while helping cultural organisations engage new and more diverse audiences.
