Enable Network Services

What Enable Network Services does

Enable Network Services is a privately held, founder-owned UK networking and security services provider headquartered in Newbury, established on 17 January 2014 by Terry and Renay Pattinson. The company positions itself as a specialist in service provider core and access networks, building deep technical expertise in modern transport and automation technologies such as Segment Routing (including TI-LFA and traffic engineering), EVPN (including E-TREE and VPLS migration), and YANG/NETCONF-based network automation with streaming telemetry. It holds the only Cisco Master Service Provider Partner designation in the UK, layered with Cisco Advanced Data Centre, Advanced Service Provider, Preferred Security and Preferred Services Partner statuses, and is the winner of Cisco's UK & Ireland Mass Scale Infrastructure Partner of the Year 2023.

The commercial offering spans three revenue streams: professional services (solution design, health checks, installations, migrations and global IT rollouts), managed services (24/7 monitoring, multilingual helpdesk, cloud and security management, and field engineering covering 180+ countries with 4-24 hour response times), and solution sales of Cisco-led networking and security technology (Switching, SD-WAN, Wireless, Meraki, IAM, SASE, Zero Trust, NGFWs, DLP and email security). Customers are organised across four segments: Service Providers (with publicly visible alt-net customers including Airband, YouFibre and Netomnia), Enterprise, SMB and the UK Public Sector, the last accessed via Crown Commercial Services Technology Services 4 and Crescent Purchasing Consortium framework agreements.

Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: free network, security, DNS and email-threat assessments, free hands-on Segment Routing and EVPN training days at the Newbury lab, and a steady cadence of technical webinars and blog content. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, operates without subsidiaries or parent entities, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 20000-1, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assurance certifications as its principal compliance footprint.
