SCG — telecoms, IT and connectivity
SCG is the Southern Communications Group. Several brands sit under it and they are easy to confuse, so this page says plainly what each one does and which to talk to.
The brands, and what each one is
All of these are the same group. Whichever you deal with, the carrier relationships, the buying power and the 24/7 support behind them are SCG's.
SCG Together
the group — SCG Cloud Limited, trading as SCG Together
The group everything below belongs to, with a telecoms history going back to 1965. It runs its own core network and its own cloud telephony platform, Evonex, which is why the products are consistent across the brands and why the buying power is worth having behind you. If you searched for SCG Communications or Southern Communications, this is what you meant.

this site — the local director model
The part of SCG built around local directors. 9 of them cover 290 towns across the UK, each a named person you deal with directly rather than an account queue. Same products and same group buying power, delivered by someone who will come to your site.
About SCG SolutionsSCG Connected
business connectivity
SCG’s business-to-business connectivity brand — VoIP, mobile, broadband and cloud services, with cloud and cyber running on their own subdomains. The group’s published customer case studies live here, which is why the ones summarised on this site link back to scgconnected.co.uk rather than being reproduced.
Visit SCG ConnectedSCG Corporate
larger and multi-site organisations
The corporate arm, covering cloud, telecoms, mobile and IoT for larger organisations. It sits under SCG Connected, at corporate.scgconnected.co.uk — scgcorporate.co.uk is a marketing domain that redirects there. If you are running a procurement process or a multi-site rollout rather than buying a phone system, this is the part shaped for it.

technology consultancy
The consultancy side — "serious technology partners, refreshingly easy to deal with", in their own words. It runs directly off the group at consulting.scgtogether.com. Where the question is which technology and in what order rather than which supplier, this is the part of the group that answers it.

schools, colleges and academy trusts
Worth being precise: SCG Education is not a separate company. scgeducation.co.uk is a marketing domain that redirects to SCG Connected’s schools and education pages, where the driving requirements are safeguarding, security and compliance rather than commercial ones. If you are a school, a college or a multi-academy trust, that is where to start.

Where SCG Solutions fits
SCG Solutions is the part of the group built around local directors. There are 9 of them covering 290 towns, from Aberdeen down to Worthing, and each one is a named person with a number rather than an account queue. The products are the group's — cloud telephony, Microsoft Teams calling, business internet, mobiles and network security — and so is the buying power, which is what lets a ten-person firm price like a national account.
SCG — common questions
What does SCG stand for?
Southern Communications Group. It is usually shortened to SCG, and the group trades as SCG Together. It has supplied UK businesses with communications since 1965, runs its own core network and its own cloud telephony platform, and covers telecoms, connectivity, mobiles, cyber security and IT.
Is SCG Solutions the same as SCG Connected?
No — they are two brands within the same group, with separate teams and separate websites. SCG Connected is the group’s business connectivity brand at scgconnected.co.uk. SCG Solutions is this site, and works through local directors who cover a defined patch. Both sit under SCG Together, so the network, the products and the support behind them are the same.
I searched for SCG Together. Is that this?
SCG Together is the group itself, at scgtogether.com — the registered company is SCG Cloud Limited trading as SCG Together, and the site covers the whole group rather than any one brand. This site is SCG Solutions, the part of the group that works through local directors. If you want the group as a whole, scgtogether.com is the right place.
How many SCG brands are there, and which is which?
Five, plus a sector offering. SCG Together is the group. SCG Solutions is local directors. SCG Connected is business connectivity. SCG Corporate handles larger and multi-site organisations including IoT, and runs under SCG Connected. SCG Consulting is the technology consultancy, running off the group directly. SCG Education is not a separate company — the domain redirects to SCG Connected’s schools and education pages. They share a network and a platform, so the difference is who you deal with and how, not what you get.
Which part of SCG should I contact?
If you want a named local person who will come to your site, SCG Solutions — there are directors covering 290 towns and the locations page will tell you who yours is. If you are a school or an academy trust, SCG Education. If you are running a multi-site or IoT programme, SCG Corporate. If you are already working with another part of the group, stay with them. If you genuinely do not know, contact us and we will point you to the right team rather than pass you round.
Are the case studies SCG Solutions customers or SCG customers?
SCG customers. The published case studies are the group’s and live on scgconnected.co.uk, and they are attributed to SCG rather than to SCG Solutions because that is who those customers contracted with. They are summarised and linked here rather than copied, so the originals keep the credit and the ranking they have earned.
Not sure which part of SCG you need?
