Virgin Media O2 and Daisy Group plan to merge their B2B operations in H2 2025 to create a new entity with pro forma revenues of £1.4 billion, led by Matthew Riley (pictured) as Chairman and Jo Bertram as CEO.

Shared Access, owner and operator of shared telecommunications infrastructure, has acquired Node Technologies to add fibre and smart tech expertise to the business.
Node Technologies is a Manchester property technology business delivering fibre-based smart building solutions.
It will remain as a standalone entity with co-founder and CEO, Christian Anderton continuing to lead day-to-day operations.
Chris Jackman (pictured), CEO Shared Access: “This deal makes us a one-stop-shop for building owners, property managers and tenants, providing in-building mobile connectivity, as well as expanding full fibre choices to landlords and their customers.”
Anderton added: “The evolution of Node and alignment with the Shared Access vision represents the next phase of our journey in changing how real estate delivers connectivity experience to its customers.”
