We Make IT Work

Providing telecoms and broadband to UK businesses
Britain’s businesses rely on technology more than ever. From mobile and office telecoms to IT systems and fast, reliable connections, strong tech partners are essential. Northern Telecom provides expert, jargon-free advice from our friendly team of ‘techsperts,’ helping businesses find the right solutions without the hard sell. Founded over ten years ago by Yorkshire entrepreneur Jon Graves, we remain privately owned, guided by integrity, clarity, and value. Our staff aren’t incentivised to push products, ensuring honest recommendations. With cost-conscious Yorkshire roots, we deliver savings on mobiles, broadband, leased lines, phone systems, and fully managed IT support.
Providing IT support to UK businesses
We’ve all had that “oh no” moment — a crashed system, a network outage, a cyber attack, or technology that simply won’t cooperate. That’s where Soda IT comes in. For over ten years, we’ve been keeping IT running smoothly for businesses across the UK. From reactive support to reliable, proactive solutions, you can count on us when it matters most. In 2021, Soda IT became part of the Northern Telecom family, strengthening our expertise in IT, connectivity and communications. In 2023, Allteks Ltd. and Absols Ltd. joined us, expanding our capabilities and customer base.
Providing telecoms and broadband to consumers and businesses across Wales
Founded in Carmarthen, Dyfed Telecom began by selling mobile phones to local businesses — always delivering a personal service by visiting customers directly. With a strong focus on the agricultural community, word of mouth and a growing reputation have helped the company expand across Wales.
Today, Dyfed Telecom continues to bring mobile and telecom solutions directly to farms, offices, and homes, offering flexible service day or night. Our commitment to personal, reliable support ensures customers get the right technology and guidance, wherever they are. Dyfed Telecom combines local knowledge with hands-on service to keep communities connected across Wales.
Providing telecoms and broadband to consumers and businesses across rural England
Driven by word of mouth and a strong connection to rural communities, Shire Telecom has grown into a trusted provider of mobile and connectivity solutions across the UK. We specialise in supporting farms, businesses, and homes in even the most remote locations, bringing practical, reliable technology directly to our customers.
From mobile phones to full connectivity solutions, we combine hands-on service with expert advice, ensuring every installation meets the needs of the people and businesses we serve. Shire Telecom remains committed to the same personal, dependable service that has defined us from the start.
Providing Secure IT Solutions to UK businesses
Soda IT Secure (formerly C-STEM) provides solutions and professional services to support IT, OT, IIoT, IoT, and IoMT, helping businesses reduce operational risks, avoid lost productivity, and maximise value from technology investments. Our “diagnose before you prescribe” approach ensures that new and existing hardware and software work seamlessly together, preventing tech clashes and shelfware. By combining our Secure Solutions and professional technical services, we help organisations match the right technology to their business needs, improve risk management, and deliver projects on time and within budget. Soda IT Secure empowers companies to accelerate digital transformation, optimise outcomes, and confidently realise ongoing value from their technology investments.
Providing telecoms and broadband to UK businesses and dealers/resellers
Choosing the right wholesale partner can make or break a dealer’s business. At Northern Telecom Wholesale (formerly DMSLUK), we exist to help telecoms dealers and resellers grow with confidence. We offer no hard sell — just straight-talking advice from our friendly team of ‘techsperts’, who understand both the technology and the commercial realities of selling it. With strong Yorkshire roots, we’re naturally thrifty and pass those savings on through competitive pricing on business mobiles, broadband, leased lines, phone systems and managed IT solutions. As an independent provider, we give our partners access to top-tier suppliers, exclusive deals and dedicated support — helping you win more business, retain customers and scale sustainably.
