ISPA Awards 2025 — Winners Announced

The Internet Services’ Providers Association (ISPA) has this evening hosted its annual awards at a gala dinner at the City Central at the HAC in Central London. This year is special as it represents ISPA’s 30th anniversary as an organisation.

The awards recognise broadband operators and others who have contributed to the industry over the past year.

The ISPA Awards remains a brilliant occasion to celebrate the achievements of our industry and the people shaping the UK’s telecommunications landscape. As ISPA UK marks its 30th anniversary this year, it’s especially inspiring to reflect on how far our sector has come, and the role our members continue to play in building a world-class digital future for the UK. This year’s winners exemplify the innovation, resilience, and dedication that define our sector. As we continue to tackle challenges and embrace opportunities, from moving towards fibre rollout completion to enhancing digital inclusion, these organisations and individuals are laying the foundations for a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Steve Leighton, Chair, ISPA UK
