Southern Communications has, over recent years, pursued an ambitious acquisition strategy, transforming itself into one of the UK’s largest providers of business-to-business telecoms services with a turnover of over £30 million, over 6,600 business customers and a workforce of over 160 employees operating from four locations in the UK (as of June 2016).

The right tools for growth
We worked with the business to augment the management team, which has included David Goldie, the former CEO of TalkTalk, joining as chairman.
Our in-house insight team has supported the business to identify and evaluate a corporate development pipeline. Since investment, the business has completed 10 acquisitions enabling it to expand its customer base and service offering.
