Fast professional solutions Could our team simplify your project

Connecting the country for the future

We work directly with local authorities, the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA), local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) and the Government to ensure that we can meet the future telecommunications needs of the UK.

Our network stretches the length and breadth of the nation, with more than 21,000 field engineers out and about every day working on it. We've taken on some of the most complex, high profile communications projects in the country, including the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and rolling out superfast broadband to two-thirds of the UK by 2015.

Talk to us early on and we can help:

  • Support your economic development strategies
  • Attract public and private investment to your area through better communications
  • Develop your integrated planning services
  • Advise on long-term infrastructure planning and major projects

But it's not just our hardware that puts us ahead of the rest. It's our people. Our established team can support you and draw on our project management experience as the UK's leading network provider.
