#25in25 - Celebrating 25 Years of Clarke Telecom

As 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Clarke Telecom, we’re celebrating with #25in25, a special recognition of this incredible milestone.

Many people and partnerships have shaped who we are today. To kick things off, we’ve developed a timeline video that allows you to explore our history. It’s essential to acknowledge the past, pivotal people, and our collective successes. However, we are a forward-thinking organisation, continually developing and diversifying to ensure we enhance our client and employee relationships.

The Clarke Collective

On Friday, June 27th, we hosted two special events, coinciding with 25In25. The first was an opportunity for our teams to meet and discuss our business and operations, where we provided a platform for updates and encouraged open feedback and suggestions. The event was a great success, and following this, we hosted our employees at an evening event in Manchester, where we had the opportunity to celebrate our 25th anniversary, acknowledge teams and individuals through our awards, and recognise the Clarke Collective, where everyone supports one another and enhances our client relationships.

Look out for more updates on these events coming soon.

A Journey of Growth and Diversification

From our beginnings in 2000 as a specialist provider for the UK’s cellular network operators, we’ve grown, developed, and diversified into a respected partner in telecommunications, connectivity, and power infrastructure. Throughout our history, we’ve embraced technology, expanded with experienced and knowledgeable people, and evolved to deliver comprehensive services to our clients. We continue to develop many meaningful relationships and thank all of our clients, partners, and past and present employees for being an integral part of our journey.

The formation of Clarke Connect has further strengthened our service offerings, delivering innovation and enhancing how industries, information and people connect – through 5G networks, IoT, Edge Computing and wireless technologies. Our passion for sustainability is evident in our approach, and our Power Infrastructure solutions, including EV Charging deployment, further demonstrate our commitment to ensuring accessible connections wherever required.

Celebrating Our People and Culture

Our people are at the heart of our success. At the backbone of this are long-serving members of staff, husbands and wives, and today, the children of past and current staff, all part of the Clarke Telecom family.

Being named one of the Top 100 Inclusive Employers in 2024 and receiving the National Centre for Diversity’s Investors in Diversity Silver Status award further exemplifies our dedication to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Reflecting on the Past, Looking to the Future

As we reflect on our past 25 years, we’re certainly not going to stand still. As our industry continues to innovate and push new boundaries, we’re confident that we’ll once again play a pivotal role in that new journey. With a continued focus on sustainable practices, innovative solutions, and expanding our service offerings, we remain committed to being a trusted partner for our clients, a leader in our industry, and a responsible business within the communities that benefit from our service solutions.

Here’s to 25 years of innovation, growth, and excellence and to the many exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we’ll continue to build connections that matter.
