Nigel Barnett, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Telecom Acquisitions
“

With over three decades in telecoms, I’m proud to lead the team at Telecom Acquisitions, where our priority remains the same: our customers and the service we provide.

Call me old school, but we believe in real conversations, which is why you’ll always find a phone number on our communications. As the internet and customer needs have evolved, we’ve adapted while maintaining our focus on offering clear advice and solutions. We know customers want affordable, reliable service, and when issues arise, they expect swift, expert help.

As the preferred supplier for letting and estate agents, we are the go-to choice for tenants, students, landlords, and homeowners seeking high-quality broadband, UK-based support, and premium service.

The home-move market

Making moving home simpler

Moving home is complex, with tight deadlines and a lot to arrange. We make it simpler by connecting tenants and homeowners to broadband and utilities in one go.

For over 28 years we’ve delivered fast, reliable broadband and UK-based support, with low wait times and a personal service. That’s why letting agents and referencing companies across the UK work with us.

Through partnerships with major providers like TalkTalk, Virgin, and Sky, we simplify utility switching for both tenants and homeowners, offering a hassle-free experience with no hidden fees or delays.
