From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Retail division of BT Group
BT Business and Public Sector
was a division of
United Kingdom
telecommunications company
BT Group
that provided
fixed-line
,
mobile
,
broadband
and
IT services
to
businesses
(predominantly
small and medium-sized enterprises
) and the
public sector
in the
UK
and
Ireland
.
[1]
It bought many of its services from BT's other divisions:
EE
,
BT Global Services
,
BT Wholesale
and
Openreach
. It also sold other vendors' products and services such as the Avaya IP Office business telephone system.
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.
[2]
Prior to its merger with Wholesale and Ventures, Business and Public Sector was formerly known as
BT Business
that was established alongside
BT Consumer
following a two-way split from former division,
BT Retail
in 2013 to allow BT to "better serve its customers and focus even more on delivering its strategic priorities". It took on the business operations of BT Retail that involved the merging of BT Business, BT Enterprises and BT Ireland while
BT Wi-fi
(part of BT Enterprises) and the consumer part of BT Ireland transferred to BT Consumer.

[4]
It took on its current name following BT's new organisational structure that took effect in April 2016 after its acquisition of EE, and comprises the existing BT Business division along with EE's business division and those parts of BT Global Services that are UK focused.
