Sky Business signs a new long-term agreement with dedicated B2B full fibre provider ITSThe partnership gives Sky Business access to ITS's full fibre infrastructure to connect even more businesses across the UK Monday 9 September 2024

Under the agreement, Sky Business will launch business Ethernet services using the ITS network which is currently ready to serve more than 25% of all UK commercial premises.

Sky Business will leverage ITS's investment into its market-leading B2B network and delivery tools, giving the efficiencies needed to transact at high volumes.

The partnership builds on the success of the existing relationship Sky Business and ITS forged in 2020, which allows ITS to deliver business connectivity services using Sky's infrastructure.

Sky Business has signed a new long-term supply agreement with ITS, to deliver robust, high-capacity Ethernet connectivity to businesses and other organisations across the UK.

The partnership agreement will bring the best of two networks together, using an innovative combination of ITS's fibre and Sky Business's core network to deliver high quality, ultrafast business-grade services. The deal will ensure that Sky Business continues to grow its connectivity offering to the sector and offer flexibility and choice.

The partnership enables both parties to benefit from joint investment and means Sky Business partners will receive a best-in-class service experience, managed by Sky Business's UK-led operational centre.

This strengthens an already established partnership, where Sky Business plays a key role in supporting ITS's wider connectivity portfolio.

Damian Saunders, Managing Director, Sky Business Hospitality, Mid-Market & Wholesale said:

Sky Business's new partnership agreement with ITS will enable us to expand our reach and introduce an exciting new offering to deliver a robust network experience for more businesses across the UK.

This means we are now uniquely positioned to provide our customers with a broader, combined infrastructure, underpinned by the best of both networks and our best-in class service wrap.

Daren Baythorpe, CEO at ITS said:

We are delighted to forge this new agreement with Sky Business which creates a reciprocal relationship, building on our existing partnership. We have invested heavily in our full fibre infrastructure which has been designed and is being rolled out specifically to serve businesses across the UK. Driving business full fibre uptake through Tier 1 partners is at the heart of our growth strategy as we work towards our ambition to be the UK's best option for last mile business-grade connectivity.
