South Wales Echo
|May 13, 2025
VIRGIN Media O2 has unveiled plans to form a new communications and IT behemoth, which is anticipated to have a turnover of around £1.4bn.
The development involves the merging of Virgin Media O2 and Daisy Group's direct B2B operations.
The newly forged entity will see Virgin Media O2 holding a majority stake of 70%, while the Daisy Group, headquartered in Lanca-shire, will retain the remaining 30%.
Daisy Group's founder Matthew Riley is set to lead and chair the new venture, and Jo Bertram, currently managing director at Virgin Media O2 Business, will take on the role of chief executive.
