BT Wholesale and Ventures was a division of United Kingdom telecommunications company BT Group that provided voice, broadband, data, hosted communication, managed network and IT services to communications providers (CPs) in Great Britain. It was merged with BT's Business and Public Sector division to form BT Enterprise in October 2018.
Wholesale and Ventures provided services to BT's other divisions: BT Consumer, BT Business and Public Sector and EE. It also offered services to media companies and broadcasters, and its ventures side offered a range of products and services. It provided the voice services to UK customers via 999, 118 500 and Next Generation Text Service, which helps those who can’t hear or speak on the phone.
In April 2018, Gavin Patterson, then BT Group's CEO, announced Wholesale and Ventures was to be combined with the group's Business and Public Sector division into a newly-formed division, BT Enterprise. It came after BT's decision to undertake a streamlining of its operations, in a bid to strengthen its offerings as a business.[1]
Prior to its merger with Business and Public Sector, Wholesale and Ventures was formerly known as BT Wholesale, taking on the name following BT's new organisational structure that took effect in April 2016 after its acquisition of EE, and comprises the existing BT Wholesale division along with EE's mobile virtual network operator business as well as some specialist businesses such as Fleet, Payphones and Directories.[2][3][4] Its ventures side included the following businesses at time of its restructuring:[5]
BT Redcare – protects homes and businesses in the UK against intruders, accidental fire or arson
BT Cables – supports and supplies a range of cables and accessories
Directory Solutions - the sole distributor of the UK’s directory information to producers of directory products and services
BT’s Phone Book – the only UK directory that includes business and residential listings
Payphones (Red telephone box, KX series, LinkUK) – handles telephone calls and provides additional services such as advertising, cash machines, Wi-Fi and small cell mobile hotspots
BT Supply Chain – provides supply chain management for both Group businesses and its external customer base
