Our Company
Connect44 was founded in 2000 in the heart of Switzerland in Luzern, by co-founders and partners James Rogerson and Leo Kidel. Since then the company has had a steady and organic growth while continuing to be privately owned.
Our Story
For more than two decades, Leo Kidel and James Rogerson have steered Connect44 to be a brand that is known for trust and excellence throughout Europe and the UK. We are proud of our established team that comprises more than 1300 dedicated colleagues who deliver our high-end services with a customer-focused approach throughout 13 countries.
With our history in mobile, fixed and enterprise markets, we specialise in planning, building, operating and securing systems, assets and networks for MNOs. Connect44 is a vendor agnostic, agile company, which makes us flexible and easy to do business with.
A testament to our stability is that many of our people have been with the company for more than 20 years, and they remain committed to Connect44 and its client-focused approach. Our strong focus on internal communication also helps us to develop strong and long-lasting relationships with our clients that are built on mutual trust. We believe that integrity and a friendly approach in dealing with customers is a prerequisite for successful and sustained business relationships.
Connect44 is a dynamic organization that has adapted over two decades to serve a constantly changing telecoms industry, and as a result has developed into one of Europe’s largest independent, vendor agnostic, fixed and mobile network solutions providers. Our aim is to provide high-quality, cost-effective services to network operators, fibre companies, tower companies, and network equipment vendors.
Connect44 has established 4 key competitive
advantages
We are free
As an independent and vendor agnostic company we are able to provide services across a broad range of technologies, vendors, and customers. This freedom is important to our customers and to our company because we are unbiased in our approach and unaffected by the needs of multiple stakeholders.
We are flexible
At Connect44 it is not one size fits all. We work closely with our customers to understand their real concerns, their challenges, to understand their best outcome and what do they really need to be successful. It is this flexibility in our people, our culture and our business model that makes us so valuable to customers.
We are fast
To respond, to adapt, to change and to deliver. Underpinned by the sense of urgency we have as a company, we continue to invest in being ‘fast’.
We are friendly
With our unique friendly culture, we walk into clients' lives and leave them smiling. Despite being a tech company in a complex network environment, we prioritise people and their wellbeing. Our ability to engage with customers as individuals and create a friendly working environment while remaining professional and delivering our client's needs, sets us apart.
We are very lucky to have these competitive advantages, and we will continue fostering and grooming and growing these advantages as part of our strategy.
