Network Communications Group

What Network Communications Group does

Network Communications Group, now operating as Net Tech Group, is a UK-based private business-to-business provider of communications, connectivity, IT, and security services, headquartered in Enfield. Founded around 1989 and rebranded in 2024 to reflect its broadened portfolio, the company serves UK businesses of all sizes with a horizontal segmentation approach, positioning itself as a single-source provider across four service pillars: Communications, Connectivity, IT, and Security. Its stated mission is to help customers migrate from legacy ISDN/PSTN telephony to cloud-based platforms, with active marketing tied to the UK ISDN switch-off deadline.

The product portfolio spans hosted cloud telephony (Cloud Communications, Unified Communications, Microsoft Teams for Business, iPECS cloud, Gamma Horizon, Horizon Contact) and on-premise systems (Mitel, Avaya, iPECS on-premise), supplemented by call analytics and recording through partner products iPECS Analytics, ClarifyGo (Oak Innovation), and Akixi. Connectivity services include broadband, dedicated leased lines, MPLS, and Wi-Fi, with a reseller relationship with Community Fibre for full-fibre. The IT pillar covers consultancy, cybersecurity advisory, and ongoing technical support, while the Security pillar covers CCTV, door entry, and access control installations. Core technology is a cloud-based hosted communications platform with SIP trunking capabilities, powered by secure data centre infrastructure and supporting remote deployment and configuration; PCI DSS 4.0 compliance and business continuity services round out the resilience offering.

The business model is sales-led and direct, with customers engaging via phone (020 8370 8370) and a website contact form. Revenue is generated through recurring subscriptions on cloud communications and connectivity services, one-off hardware installations for CCTV and access control, and professional services for IT consultancy and support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a value-added reseller across multiple vendor platforms rather than a single-vendor channel partner, with strategic tier relationships with Gamma, Mitel, Avaya, and iPECS (LG-Ericsson) alongside minor partnerships with Community Fibre, Oak Innovation, and Akixi. Geographic scope is UK-only, with no disclosed international footprint.
