National Recognition for Customer Service, Connectivity Expertise and Business Growth
We are delighted to announce that Square One Network has been named Best Business Telecoms Company 2026 – South West England in the SME News IT Awards 2026.
The award recognises outstanding businesses operating within the technology and telecoms sector and celebrates organisations that consistently deliver exceptional service, innovation, and value to their customers. This year’s recognition highlights Square One Network’s commitment to helping businesses across the South West, South Wales and beyond stay connected, productive and future-ready.
A Recognition Built on Relationships
Unlike many larger telecoms providers, Square One Network has built its reputation on delivering enterprise-grade telecoms solutions backed by genuinely personal service.
SME News highlighted the company’s relationship-focused approach as a key differentiator, recognising the way Square One combines technical expertise with direct access to knowledgeable account managers and support specialists. Rather than relying on call centres, ticket numbers and lengthy response times, customers work with a team that understands their business and takes ownership of delivering the right outcome.
Commenting on the award, Managing Director David Allen said:
“Winning Best Business Telecoms Company 2026 – South West England is a fantastic achievement for the entire team and reflects the relationships we’ve built with customers over many years.
We’re particularly proud that many of our clients have stayed with us for a long time and continue to recommend us to other businesses. In an industry where customers are often treated as account numbers, we believe the personal touch still matters.”
Why We Were Selected
The award judges recognised Square One Network’s ability to combine trusted advice, responsive support and modern connectivity solutions to help businesses overcome increasingly complex technology challenges.
Today, reliable connectivity is essential for everything from cloud applications and remote working to customer service and operational efficiency. Square One Network supports organisations with:
- Business broadband and full fibre connectivity
- Dedicated leased lines
- Hosted VoIP and cloud communications
- Business mobile solutions
- IoT connectivity
- Fully managed telecoms services
By taking the time to understand how each organisation operates before recommending solutions, Square One helps businesses simplify telecoms, improve resilience and make informed technology decisions that support long-term growth.
Supporting Businesses Across the South West
Based in Bristol, Square One Network works with organisations ranging from growing SMEs to national multi-site businesses across sectors including professional services, manufacturing, construction, logistics, healthcare, hospitality and IT services.
The company has also continued to strengthen partnerships with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT companies, providing specialist telecoms expertise that complements wider technology services and enables partners to deliver better outcomes for their own customers.
Looking Ahead
The recognition comes during another year of growth for Square One Network.
As businesses become increasingly dependent on cloud services, video collaboration, remote working and resilient connectivity, the company continues to invest in its connectivity portfolio, customer support capabilities and strategic partnerships. Key priorities for 2026 include raising awareness of the wider business impact of connectivity, expanding educational resources and customer success stories, and continuing to grow while maintaining the personal service that customers value most.
David Allen added:
“Many telecoms providers focus heavily on scale and automation, whereas we focus on relationships, responsiveness, and becoming a trusted partner to our clients.”
Thank You
This award is a reflection of the trust our customers place in us every day, the support of our partners, and the dedication of our team.
We would like to thank SME News for this recognition and extend our gratitude to every customer who continues to choose Square One Network as their trusted telecoms partner.
As we look ahead to the rest of 2026 and beyond, our commitment remains unchanged: delivering reliable connectivity, expert advice and exceptional service to businesses across the South West and beyond.
