Eight Advisory supports Netomnia in Strategic Merger with Brsk  

Netomnia, founded in 2019, has rapidly established itself as a key player in the UK broadband market. Specialising in fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) infrastructure, Netomnia has successfully extended its network to more than 1 million homes across UK.
