This is always a fiercely competitive category and was especially so this year as the UK transitioned to a post-pandemic world. 

Virgin Media O2 impressed the judges with its strong performance and expansion since it was created through a merger last year. The combination of fixed and mobile  networks to create converged services was a particular highlight of its entry and it will be fascinating to see where the company's vision takes it next.
