Company

About as anti-corporate as they come.

Simwood is irreverent, proud to say what needs to be said, and engineer-led since 1996. Profitable, debt-free and effectively employee-owned: no venture debt, no roll-up games, no quarterly-shareholder thinking. Owners care, and as a customer you can feel it.

The GroupSimwood Group plc: Simwood eSMS Limited (UK carrier services), Sipcentric Limited (UK hosted), Simwood Networks Limited (UK ISP with Code Powers), Simwood Inc & Simwood LLC (US carrier and hosted), Simwood Futures Limited (group treasury) and Birchills Limited (UK direct for SOHO/SME).
MissionTo create modern, powerful tools that are the secret weapon for our customers to create awesome things. We avoid reselling anything and control every element of our infrastructure: you're dealing with the network operator, not a reseller of a reseller. If something goes wrong, there's only one person to blame - that's us.
PeopleEffectively employee-owned, with shares distributed across the whole team. No redundancy rounds in the company's history. Living Wage member. Offices in Bristol, Spring Hill TN and Tbilisi.
IntegrityCredibility and integrity are a specific metric on every staff appraisal. It's also why we block the fraud and nuisance traffic other carriers happily bill.
Fraud protectionWe publish our fraud research, block roughly 5% of call attempts as nuisance or scam, and have delivered mid-call fraud signals to major banks for years. Every blocked call is potentially a granny's life savings saved.
School of HopeWe sponsor the Simwood School of Hope in Mathare, Nairobi through ChallengeAid, and girls' clubs reaching around 2,500 girls a month across 55 Kenyan and Tanzanian schools. Chess sets instead of Christmas hampers.
Saying it out loudThe blog is where we've argued with regulators, documented every incident for a decade, and published our accounts. Start with the SimCron podcast or the whitepapers if you'd rather listen than read.
CareersThis is not a place where you wait to be told what to do. If that sounds like freedom rather than terror, talk to us.
