I’m pleased to share that Virgin Media O2 has successfully acquired new high-speed 5G spectrum, investing £13 million to obtain 800MHz of 26GHz spectrum and 1,000MHz of 40 GHz spectrum in Ofcom’s latest auction. This is a strong result from the auction and an investment for the future that will allow us to meet our customers growing demand for data. Building on the £2 million we invest in our network each day, this new spectrum will deliver an enhanced customer experience and is perfectly suited to delivering fast, reliable 5G connectivity in very busy locations, such as The O2 arena and train stations at peak travel time.

We’ve announced a new long-term Power Purchase Agreement with The Renewables Infrastructure Group Limited (TRIG) as we take further steps towards reaching our zero-carbon emissions goal. As part of the agreement, TRIG will provide around 15% of our total energy supply from April 2026 using renewable electricity, powered from wind farms in Scotland and Wales. This is one of the measures we’re taking to achieve net zero carbon emissions by the end of 2040. Find out more: https://vmo2.co/3KPNG5A 📸: RES

Today we celebrated Ada Lovelace Day at our Paddington HQ – a moment to reflect on innovation, inclusion, and the role of diverse voices in shaping the future of technology.   We welcomed internal and external guests for discussions on how we can build a tech industry where everyone belongs, and where innovation is driven by human connection as much as code.   Key takeaways from a fantastic keynote by Deirdre LaBassiere, an insightful panel with tech leaders Jeanie York, Eric Tyree, Lorraine Twigg, and Deirdre LaBassiere, led by Nicola Green, and an interactive workshop with Ruth Ikwu and Shahed Alali Alghrsi included:   🤖 AI is only as inclusive as the teams who build it. Diverse perspectives are vital to reducing bias and creating technology that works for everyone.   💬 Human qualities matter more than ever. Empathy, creativity, and curiosity are essential as AI reshapes leadership and decision-making.   🚀 Inclusion fuels innovation. Belonging unlocks new ideas, drives better outcomes, and strengthens the communities we serve.   🌍 Representation inspires possibility. When women see themselves in tech, it opens doors for the next generation of innovators.   At Virgin Media O2, we believe innovation thrives when everyone belongs. Celebrating Ada Lovelace Day reminds us why it’s vital to break barriers, champion women in tech, and inspire the next generation to lead the future of technology.   A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, to our Women’s Network (Harriet L., Ana-Rosa Broster) and Enrich Network (Henna Tank, Eureka Cheema) for organising, and to all our fantastic speakers and participants for leading such an insightful, thought-provoking morning.   #AdaLovelaceDay #WomenInTech #TeamVirginMediaO2
