A Warrington-based business-only fibre and wholesale connectivity provider that builds its own network for UK businesses and sells through channel partners.
ITS Technology Group provides connectivity for UK businesses. It designs, builds and runs full fibre networks and sells wholesale connections to partners such as internet providers, network operators and resellers, who then pass them on to business customers. Its own network is business-only and uses a modern fibre technology called XGS-PON. Its products include FibreOne, a high-volume service on its own infrastructure, FibreLight, a business-grade fibre service with matching upload and download speeds, and FibreBright, a premium dedicated leased line. ITS was ranked 31st in the Sunday Times 100 Tech list for 2026.
ITS does not state a formal mission on the pages we read. Its tagline is "Connecting you to more", and its website lists what it stands for: a focus on business, genuine choice of suppliers, making customers' lives easier through resilience and round-the-clock monitoring, social value including reusing assets, continuous learning and long-term partnerships. Its chief executive, Daren Baythorpe, formerly of Openreach and BT, credits the company's growth to its people and to the trust of its customers and partners.
The company is registered in England and Wales, with its office at Daresbury Park in Warrington, Cheshire. The website lists live networks in Crawley, Newcastle upon Tyne and Glasgow, and a phased expansion to 13 more locations, including Aberdeen, Bath, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Southampton and Swansea. A news item from September 2026 said its business fibre network went live in nine new locations. Its partner markets are Channel, Infrastructure, Property and Public Sector, and case studies on its site include Bromley Council and the precision manufacturer Starna.
The leadership team is public and includes people with backgrounds at Openreach, BT and Virgin Media Business, which shows how experience from the wider industry feeds into ITS. On culture, the website says it invests in an environment where ambitious, driven people can thrive. It lists benefits including flexible working, paid volunteering time and a birthday day off each year. Those are the company's own claims. A news item in 2026 shows a safety leader from ITS becoming chair of the SHiFT Group, which covers health and safety in fibre telecoms, so safe working on networks is part of the picture.
A wholesale network company needs network engineers, field and build teams, people who run the network around the clock, partner and sales managers, product and customer service staff, and finance, safety and people teams. Technology, engineering, business and law subjects can all lead there. Its website links to current vacancies.
