VodafoneThree has awarded contracts worth £2 billion to global communications technology leaders Ericsson and Nokia.

The news comes just three months after the £16.5bn mega-merger was complete and is the next stage in its mission to build the UK’s best mobile network.

The Scandinavian-based firms will help deliver a share of the company’s £11bn investment plan, which aims to boost the UK economy by as much as £102bn between 2025 and 2035.

The eight-year programme is set to power sectors from energy and financial services to manufacturing, security and technology in an attempt to transform the UK’s digital backbone.
