At KTL, our people are at the heart of everything we do — and Chloe Healy’s journey is a powerful example. When Chloe began her career in Accounting and Finance, HR wasn’t the obvious path.

The word “Lent” comes from the time of year when days begin to lengthen, symbolising hope and new beginnings. Traditionally marked by abstaining from certain foods like meat and eggs, it’s now often observed by giving up a favourite treat or food, small comforts, or habits. It’s a time to pause, reset, and refocus on what matters most. Wishing everyone celebrating a thoughtful and peaceful Lent.

A sacred time of reflection, devotion and fasting for Muslims around the world, Ramadan offers an opportunity for spiritual renewal and community. To all those observing, we wish you a peaceful and blessed month ahead.

KTL recently returned for a visit to St. Ambrose High School in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland for a careers fair where students were supported in understanding how subject choices today can open doors to careers in telecoms and engineering roles tomorrow.

Saint (St.) Brigid of Kildare (c. 451–525) is the patroness — often called the “mother saint” — of Ireland, alongside St. Patrick and St. Columba. Since 2023, St. Brigid’s Day, 1st February has been recognised as a national public holiday in Ireland. It has evolved from the ancient pre-Christian festival of Imbolc, marking the beginning of spring. According to medieval Irish sacred biographies, Brigid was an abbess who founded the influential Abbey of Kildare (Cill Dara — “ch

Today marks 40 years since the first ever mobile phone call was made in Ireland. On 11 December 1985, the country took its first step into a new era of connectivity, marking the beginning of mobile telecommunications as part of everyday life. At the time, this was groundbreaking technology. Early mobile handsets were large, “brick-like” and costly, and primarily used by business professionals. Coverage was limited and network capacity was modest. Yet the moment represented a
