About this company

Formed in 2012, Utelize was founded by Matt Atkinson and Kevin Steed. Matt and Kevin have worked in the telecoms industry since the 1990’s. Both within the industry in commercial analyst and billing management roles and as procurement & technology consultants working for large enterprise organisations. They have also been founders and investors in a range of telecoms related businesses. As it became clear that mobile would become the primary way of working for the majority of business workers, Matt and Kevin decided to form Utelize. Their aim was to create a new type of service provider that would, in Kevin’s words, “actually care about its customers, does the right thing and continuously strives to deliver better services!”. The business has grown since then and was recognised in 2015 as an Everline Future 50 company (highlighting future potential high growth technology businesses). We were delighted to also be recognised in this year’s Financial Times List of Europe’s 1000 Fastest Growing Companies (2020). In 2019, we successfully applied to become a cohort member in the technology accelerator BetaDen. Where we have been busy developing our new Simovate range of next generation mobile networking products for remote workers and other business applications, closely linked to the Worcestershire 5G Test bed, where innovative new 5G and IoT solutions are being tested and developed. Today we support a varied and growing number of well known mid market and enterprise brands. These include HomeServe, Stagecoach and Mitsubishi Corporation as well a number of specialist partners including our strategic partners at Mobliciti; who trust us to deliver excellent value, objective and plain speaking advice and above all proactive service and support.
