This award celebrates our leadership through SHiFT (Safety & Health in Fibre Telecoms), an initiative we’ve helped shape to improve safety performance sector-wide. At the heart of this is the SHiFT Map, a collaborative tool that enables operators to share critical safety information, prevent incidents, and foster a culture of transparency and care.

This achievement belongs to everyone at ITS. Together, we’ve built a culture where care, accountability, and continuous improvement are embedded in everything we do.

Winning this award is a reflection of our values. Health and safety leadership isn’t just about compliance, we’re committed influencing positive change and setting a new standard – ensuring that everyone who works alongside us goes home safe.

This recognition is a testament to the meaningful progress we’re making to build a sustainable, inclusive, and responsible business. Our ESG journey is rooted in action, from cutting carbon emissions and expanding digital access, to supporting local communities and embedding a values-led culture across the organisation.

The shortlisting reflects the collective efforts of our people, partners, and stakeholders. While environmental impact is of a continual focus, our efforts are also about creating better experiences for everyone we work with, and ensuring our growth is aligned with long-term social value.

The UK CXAs celebrate excellence across the full customer and employee experience. It’s a timely reminder of the broader journey we’re on, and the importance of raising standards across the board.

We’re proud to be recognised alongside some of the UK’s most respected organisations. ITS is one of two organisations shortlisted, alongside Scottish utility company, Business Stream.

The wider awards program includes finalists such as Octopus Energy, Coca-Cola, Lloyds Banking Group, and Sainsbury’s, and it’s a great honour to be shortlisted amongst prominent household names.

Next, we’ll present our ESG story to the UK CXA judging panel, with winners announced at Wembley Stadium on 16th October.

We’re proud to announce that ITS has been awarded the prestigious RoSPA Gold Health and Safety Award for 2025 – a significant milestone in our journey to create a safer, more sustainable working environment for our people. 

Each year, thousands of organisations from over 50 countries enter the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Awards, which recognise excellence in health and safety practices across all industries. The Gold Award is a mark of distinction, presented only to those who demonstrate exceptional commitment to health, safety, and well-being. 

After receiving Silver in 2024, we’re incredibly proud to have progressed to Gold, joining the ranks of leading organisations in the telecoms industry.  

This achievement reflects: 

• A robust and proactive safety culture embedded across all levels of the business 
• Strong leadership commitment to health, safety, and welfare 
• The effectiveness of our risk management, incident prevention, and safety training strategies 
• Our determination to go beyond compliance and prioritise the well-being of our people, partners, and the communities we serve 

Mike C Jones, Head of SHEQ at ITS says:

“For myself, and the SHEQ team, winning the ROSPA Gold Award is hugely significant and recognises the hard work that is carried out throughout the year by validating the evidence submitted as part of the awards process. 

It gives credit to the Health and Safety Management system we have created, as well as the strategy and culture we have, where everyone has a voice and can raise concerns or report accidents and near misses without fear of being blamed. The award process involved an in-depth scrutiny of our submission, which also allowed a chance to reflect on our performance during the year.”

ITS recognised for launching new fibre products and making them easily accessible for the market to sell into businesses

Dedicated B2B wholesale full fibre operator, ITS Technology Group (ITS) has won the coveted ‘Best Fibre Connectivity Provider’ category at the 2024 Comms Business Awards.

Dave Ferry, Chief Sales Officer at ITS said: “I am thrilled we have picked up this award, the second time for ITS in this category. It is testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our entire team. We strive to provide our partners with unparalleled business-grade fibre connectivity solutions that drive innovation, efficiency, reliability, and growth.

“We continue to work hard and invest in streamlining processes to make it easier for our partners to access full fibre services, and create the product portfolio that helps them to meet the demands of their customers. This can only be achieved through great partner relationships and collaboration. This award serves as a milestone in our journey and a motivation to keep raising the bar.”

In addition to several promotions and incentives designed to support partners amidst challenging market conditions, over the last year ITS has added to, refreshed, and upgraded its product portfolio. This includes the wholesale provider’s FibreBright leased line services, and FibreLight and FibreOne FTTP services.

In September last year, ITS also launched a suite of value-add bolt on services which includes voice-enabled connectivity options, additional fixed IP addresses, and a series of resilience services including 4G backup and broadband backup designed to make it easier for its partners to sell and manage their customers’ service portfolios.

ITS remains focused on expanding the geographic reach of its own XGS-PON full fibre network – which already reaches 25% of the UK’s business premises – and delivering services, accessed through its bespoke partner portal/API, to meet the growing demand for reliable, high-speed fibre connectivity.
