Telefonica to open UK Office to boost VMO2 ties and oversight
Telefonica plans to open a UK office in London to work more closely with its joint venture Virgin Media O2 and keep a tighter grip on operations in one of its four main markets. The move is meant to improve day‑to‑day coordination with VMO2’s management and give the Spanish group a more direct view of the UK business.
The UK remains a strategic market for Telefonica alongside Spain, Germany and Brazil. By setting up a local base, the company aims to align strategy, investment and network decisions more closely with VMO2, which provides fixed and mobile services across the country.
