BT Group - British Telecommunications Public Limited Company

BT's regional teams across the UK, including our offices in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, are uniquely positioned to work in partnership across the whole of the company, leading BT people to design solutions to meet the challenges and issues of their regions and local areas. The strength of these teams is that they are all based locally and live, play, work and do business in their regional communities which enables them to truly understand what makes those communities tick, and know the issues which affect them.

With some 290,000 people employed directly and indirectly by BT in the UK, the company makes a substantial contribution to the national economy. This figure includes BT’s direct workforce, and those jobs supported along the supply chain through procurement and staff expenditure in local economies. Indeed, BT activities support around 1 per cent of all employment in the UK, a considerable contribution for a single company. As well as direct employment and investment, BT provides significant support to business organisations, local community organisations, sports and the arts both through direct funding and the provision of in-kind contribution.
