Commsworld Ltd targets future UK growth after a year of resilient performance

Commsworld Ltd has reinforced its position as one of the UK's leading independent telecoms service providers after delivering another year of resilient financial performance while securing major public sector contracts and growing its recurring revenue base.

The Edinburgh-headquartered business reported turnover of £36.9 million for 2025, in line with the previous year, while increasing higher-value recurring revenues that continue to strengthen the company's long-term foundations.

Despite pre-tax profits of £3.6 million, compared with £4.7 million in 2024, the business continued to generate strong operational cashflow closely aligned with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), which reached £6.2 million against £7 million the previous year.

The figures were in line with Board expectations as Commsworld remained focused on winning and delivering large-scale connectivity projects to a diverse customer base across both the public and private sectors.

The year saw Commsworld complete significant infrastructure projects for key customers including the upgrade of Wigan Council's local and wide area networks and the successful transition of Glasgow City Council's connectivity services onto the Commsworld network.

The company also secured several major new contracts, including a 15-year agreement with West Lothian Council to modernise, manage and support its Wide Area Network across public sector sites throughout the region.

With a strong pipeline of opportunities heading into 2026, the company said it was well placed to build on its momentum as organisations continue to invest in secure, resilient digital infrastructure.

Chief Executive Steve Langmead said: “Commsworld Ltd’s results show that the company remains in very good health, with growth in recurring revenue and robust cash generation only strengthening the foundations from which we will grow.

“We continue to focus on Commsworld’s strengths – delivering high-quality, flexible, robust and resilient services to our customers.

“There are challenges in the sector for example guiding customers through the Public Switched Telephone Network shutdown, and global business uncertainty resulting in a slowing down of customer decision making, but our primary aim as a company is to continue to grow and evolve by delivering excellence to our customers.”
