TalkTalk Business Officially Splits from TalkTalk Group in the UK
TalkTalk Business (TTB) has officially separated from the TalkTalk Group, marking a significant shift for the company. In October 2023, TTB was sold to its shareholders for £95 million. With this sale, TTB is now functioning as an independent entity.
Completion of the Separation

This phased approach is now finalized.
New Operational Capabilities
The separation has enabled TTB to create a robust operational infrastructure. This includes a modernized system stack and comprehensive service delivery capabilities, positioning the company strongly as a standalone provider.
Strategic Implications for Growth
With full autonomy over strategy, investments, and systems, TTB aims to accelerate growth. The company seeks to enhance its ability to respond to market demands, expand its product offerings, and invest further in customer service.
- Transition to managed services beyond connectivity
- Improved agility and focus on execution
- Partnerships with technology leaders like Cisco, Zoom, and Mitel
Leadership Vision
Ruth Kennedy, CEO of TTB, expressed enthusiasm about this new chapter. She emphasized the importance of their evolution into a managed network service provider. The separation allows TTB to have clearer accountability and streamlined processes, ultimately benefiting customers.
Commitment to Customer Service
The changes signal a commitment to providing clients with an evolving suite of technology solutions. New operational frameworks are being implemented to enhance service delivery as part of TTB’s long-term digital transformation goals.
The official split from the TalkTalk Group represents a pivotal moment for TalkTalk Business. With renewed focus and resources, the company is poised to carve out its niche in the competitive telecommunications landscape.
