ÃÀæ¹Ý
ÃÀæÂ¹Ý can trace its company origins back to 1966 when the ÃÀæ¹Ýow Pages business directory first launched as part of the General Post Office telephone directory. The company became part of BT in 1984 before being sold in 2001 for £2.14 billion, making it then the largest non-financial leveraged buyout in European history.
A strategic approach taken over the last decade has evolved ÃÀæÂ¹Ý into a fully digital business which completed in 2017 when the ÃÀæ¹Ýow Pages ended production, to now solely focus on providing digital marketing services for UK small and medium sized businesses.
Today, ÃÀæ¹ݒs goal is simple - to connect consumers and businesses online, enabling great conversations between trusted business and consumers through the power of cutting-edge technology, innovative solutions and best in class service. ÃÀæ¹Ý.com features a range of tools to help consumers in their search for trusted local suppliers including messaging, ratings and reviews, mobile apps and more.
ÃÀæÂ¹Ý uses technologies from leading companies such as Google, Microsoft, Meta & Wix to help take your digital marketing to the next level.
