In the English Regions we are putting BT at the heart of local communities.
We work locally in each region have specifically aligned ourselves with the English Regional Development Agency (RDA) boundaries, Wales and Scotland to better understand and respond to the needs of local people and business.
We work to develop solid strategic relationships with the RDAs, key regional stakeholders, business and community organisations to focus on the success and growth of the regional economies.
Each region has a Regional Director(RD), a senior BT manager (usually at Director level) who lives in the region and understands its make up.
Each RD leads a Regional Board made up of representatives of each main organisational part of BT and this makes for a strong team of cross-company expertise and capability. BT's sales and marketing units for small businesses, large businesses and the public sector and consumer markets are all represented, as are BT Wholesale, research & development and operations.
The Regional Director is supported by a Regional Manager whose remit is to work on the ground to develop and support regional projects in partnership with the RDA and other business, governmental, charitable, and social enterprise organisations.
