Jordan Williams - Young Ambassador

Jordan is 26 years old and works as a project manager for WM5G. Despite being the most connected region in the UK for 5G, the West Midlands still has mobile and broadband connectivity challenges. The digital divide is a real concern for a significant number of households and businesses and access to affordable social tariffs remains low. Being unable to access affordable connectivity affects everything from access to school work and on-line payment systems to people’s ability to up-skill and realise the economic, health and social benefits of the digital revolution.

WM5G takes the pain away; helping businesses, public bodies and health organisations realise amazing benefits from new technology.

Here he shares the story of his career so far, in his own words.
