Six companies, held for the long term.

Aerial Direct supplies business communication solutions — mobile, telephony and connectivity — sourced, set up and supported for organisations that would rather not manage carriers themselves.

BeeBu Telecom delivers high-speed full fibre broadband to homes, focused on straightforward service and honest speeds rather than bundle complexity.

IP Cortex builds communications software and product development work that helps partners and end-users get a higher-quality engagement experience.

Layered Technologies operates Vantage: an ISP framework and customer portal that automates service-provider operations and gives their customers a proper self-service front door.

Referrio gives businesses one API to launch, run and track referral and rewards programmes — the plumbing behind advocacy that would otherwise be spreadsheet work.

C4 Toolbox develops and licenses production-ready drivers that connect AV, lighting, security and network hardware to Control4 automation systems.
