LilaConnect is UK-based fibre optic internet service provider and a wholly owned subsidiary of VX FIBER. With a focus on bringing the best digital connectivity to those living and working in communities across the UK by literally connecting their property directly to the internet.

Lila Connect are looking for a field-based Fibre Broadband Adviser to help us achieve our customer acquisition targets in Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding area. We’re looking for an all-round sales superstar. Someone who is professional, confident, skilled, flexible, and totally focussed on helping customers find a better broadband solution.
