Telecom Plus plc is a British multi-utility supplier of gas, electricity, home insurance, and landline, broadband and mobile services to residences and businesses. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
History
The company was founded in 1996 as a telecommunications business. Its first product, launched in 1997, was a least cost call routing 'Smart Box', a gadget that plugs into a phone socket and routes the calls to alternative networks at a cheaper rate than British Telecom.[2]
In 2017 the company sold its 20% stake in Opus Energy to Drax Group.[3]
In October 2022, the company had over 800,000 customers.[4]
Operations
The company has two subsidiaries:
- Utility Warehouse (branded as UW) operates a landline telephony service, mobile telephony (as an MVNO on the EE network), supplies broadband, gas and electricity[5] and offers home insurance.[6] UW also offers a pre-paid debit card which pays a "cashback" percentage on purchases (given as a credit against the monthly bill for other UW services) in return for a monthly fee.[7] The cards are operated by Mastercard and issued by PSI-Pay Ltd,[7] a privately-held company.[8]
- Telecommunications Management Limited provides a landline telephony service to small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers,[9] as well as operating the 1pMobile consumer MVNO.[10]
The company uses a multi-level marketing model to recruit customers and distributors.[11]
