Our History

8el was one of the first to meet demand for well supported, innovative, network solutions.

During the mid to late 1990s, corporates found it increasingly difficult to find solutions sufficiently specialised to accommodate their rapidly changing communication needs. Furthermore, good service and support was rare from network suppliers outside of large accounts.

Recognising this opportunity, 8el was founded in 1999 with the aim of providing highly tailored voice and data solutions backed by first class support to the SME to mid-corporate market. Since conception 8el has provided converged communications initially using ATM but more recently through IP.

Today, 8el services over 40,000 users throughout the UK. Our broad range of communication solutions delivers significant financial, quality and strategic advantages, closely in-line with customer requirements.

With rising pressure on corporates to find solutions to increasingly complex communications challenges (such as the growing community of home and mobile workers), 8el is well placed to further consolidate its position as a leading managed communications provider in the UK.
