B2B internet service provider
M247 is the UK’s fastest growing connectivity and internet infrastructure provider. Established in Manchester in 2003 as Metronet (UK), it has since grown rapidly, both organically and through transformative acquisitions, to deliver high-speed connectivity and managed services to corporates and SMEs across the Midlands and North of England, with recent expansion into London and Europe.
The combined Group, which rebranded as M24Seven in 2017, operates the most advanced hybrid ISP network in the UK. By combining a unique offering of wireless and wired technology, M247 is able to offer connectivity solutions that are typically implemented five times quicker than traditional fibre and copper-based services.

The right tools for growth
We supported the business’s transformative acquisition strategy. Metronet (UK) acquired M247 in 2016 and Venus Business Communications in 2017. The combined Group, which has recently rebranded as M247, operates the most advanced hybrid ISP network in the UK and employs around 250 people across five sites including Manchester, London and Bucharest, supporting almost 34,000 customers across 92 countries.
We have worked to strengthen the management team with the appointment of a new CEO and FD, all of whom have worked with Livingbridge previously.
