BT local is open for business in Glasgow


A new Glasgow telecommunications company, formed as part of the BT local business franchise network, opened its doors to customers in April after securing significant funding from HSBC UK. The opening of Omnitel


Communications, BT’s only direct business partner for Glasgow and the west of Scotland, has created more than 20 new jobs for the local economy, including b2b account managers, business development managers and administrative support roles. We offer BT’s full suite of unified


communications products including Data, Cloud and Mobile devices direct to the SME sector. We are run by Tommy Nevin and


Scott Gibson, who have worked together for over 20 years in various capacities, and have teamed up to


open Omnitel Communications. We used the loan from HSBC UK to secure office space at the Glasgow Business Park in the East End, support the new hires and buy all the necessary equipment to begin trading.


HSBC UK’s genuine interest in our business made banking with them an easy decision – we wouldn’t have been able to open our doors without them. The loan has helped set us up for growth from the start and we’re already helping customers get better connected. Susan Rowand, Head of Business Banking for HSBC UK in Scotland, said: “Tommy and Scott have great industry experience and know what it takes to be successful in their sector. We’re looking forward to watching Omnitel establish itself and serve the west of Scotland’s business community.”
