About us
Since 1846 we’ve been at the heart of communications technology. That’s over 170 years of conversations and connections, services and solutions, all powered by our dedication to innovation. We don’t like to blow our own trumpet, but our history speaks for itself. We’ve been digital since way back when in 1968 when we opened the world’s first digital telephone exchange. Long before then we pioneered the electric telegraph, sent the first wireless transmissions across the Atlantic and built the first programmable computer. So you’ll agree we’ve quite a past. But we prefer to focus on the future.
In the world of communications technology BT has led the way since day one, and at a time when the world has never been more connected, there’s never been a better time to join us. We believe in open innovation; closely working in partnership with customers, academics, industry and government to deliver always-improving solutions that our customers rely on every single day.
And that open innovation is happening all around the world.
So while we’ve come a long way in 170 years, in some ways we’re still doing what we’ve always done. Always innovating, always leading, always improving. Come and join us. There’s very few truly global, forward-thinking companies delivering truly world-changing solutions.
