What Glemnet does

Glemnet is a UK-based B2B provider of telecommunications, cloud communications, and IT managed services, now operating as a subsidiary of SCG (Southern Communications Group) following its 2023 acquisition and subsequent integration into the SCG Corporate division. The company is legally registered as Southern Communications Corporate Solutions Ltd and headquartered at Glebe Farm, Dummer, Hampshire. Its service portfolio spans six categories: IT and Cloud Solutions (managed IT, disaster recovery, cloud compute, cloud connect, software solutions), Unified Communications (Direct Routing & Teams Voice, hosted UC, hybrid hosted UC, contact centre), Mobile Solutions (business mobile, MDM, IoT solutions, managed hardware deployment, private APN), Cyber Security (user/endpoint, cloud, network, managed security), Networks (SDN, managed LAN/wireless, managed WAN, business internet, cellular access), and Professional Services (technical design, service desk, project management). Delivery relies on third-party platforms including Microsoft Teams, with Microsoft Solutions Partner status supporting the UC stack.

The company serves UK organisations across four named verticals: healthcare, public sector, charity and not-for-profit, and education. It sells via a sales-led B2B motion through a dedicated phone line and website inquiry form under the SCG Corporate brand, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring subscription-based managed services contracts, supplemented by usage-based cloud and project-based professional services engagements. Certifications include Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO (quality), and the company has received a CNA Award in communications/networking. Glemnet has 11-50 employees and operates exclusively within the United Kingdom.
