Our latest partnership with Sky Business Wholesale brings better value connectivity to UK businesses and our channel partners

The latest in a string of new strategic partnerships, our new relationship with Sky Business Wholesale means our Partners and direct business customers can now access Sky's Ethernet-enabled exchange footprint. 

Spanning over 2,800 exchanges, with more than 80 per cent enabled for 10 Gb services, the collaboration marks a significant step forward for our ambition to deliver high-performance, scalable connectivity solutions to businesses across the UK.

The partnership lays the foundation for a long-term strategic relationship, with growth and innovation at its core. By aligning API strategies and automation capabilities, both Sky Business Wholesale and Zen aim to accelerate quoting, ordering, and service delivery bringing greater speed and efficiency to partners and direct business customers.

The Fibre Hub already offers access to a full fibre (FTTP) footprint of nearly 20 million premises via infrastructure providers Openreach, CityFibre, ITS and Freedom Fibre, with Trooli products coming soon. This relationship further builds on that whereby we can now also provide our channel partners and direct business customers access to Sky Business Wholesale's Ethernet-enabled exchange footprint and 10 GB Ethernet services. This builds on our existing offering of Ethernet over FTTP and business-grade connectivity products from CityFibre and ITS. 

Our Director of Strategy, David Barber, said: 

“Sky’s network reach is a strong strategic fit for Zen. This partnership expands choice and flexibility for our channel and UK businesses we serve directly, enabling us and the channel to compete more effectively on price, coverage and service. It is another significant step in bringing genuine infrastructure competition to the UK market.

“As we continue to build relationships with more key network providers, we’re on track to offer the widest geographic reach and the best commercial advantage for the channel and for direct business customers.”   

Damian Saunders, Managing Director at Sky Business Wholesale, added:

“We’re excited to partner with Zen, a business that shares our focus on innovation and customer choice. This is just the beginning of a broader collaboration that will bring real value and better outcomes for the channel and business customers alike.”

The move is in line with our ambitions to bringing better value connectivity to UK businesses while also offering greater choice to Partners through The Fibre Hub.
