Our capabilities and country-wide next-generation network help you to broaden your service portfolio and network reach, and we have the resources, skills and experience to meet critical deadlines and accelerate roll-outs in the most demanding environments.

We also offer significant cost benefits to carriers, with flexibility on prices, economies of scale and online pricing tools that enable instant quotes. THUS is financially stable and has grown significantly as it has transitioned from a regional to a national, business-focused data and telecoms service provider in the UK. The group’s revenue for continuing operations* has increased in each of the last five years from £291m for the year ended March 2003 to £533m for the year ended March 2007.

* Continuing operations exclude Contact Centre, Interactive and Demon Netherlands.
