O2 is a leading provider of mobile and broadband services to consumers and businesses in the UK. The company is the leader in non-voice services, including text, media messaging, games, music and video, as well as data connections via GPRS, HSDPA, 3G and WLAN.

O2 UK is part of the Telefonica O2 Europe group which comprises integrated fixed/mobile businesses in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia – all of which use ‘O2′ as their consumer brand. In addition, O2 has established the Tesco Mobile joint venture business in the UK and Ireland, as well as, the Tchibo Mobilfunk joint venture in Germany. O2 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telefonica S.A.

We see franchising as an ideal way of combining the owner-operator strengths of the franchisee with the strengths of our brand, systems and products. We plan to continue to expand our retail estate alongside expansion of a franchise network. The combined O2 and franchise O2 store network is expected to be one of the largest mobile telecommunication retail portfolios in the UK.

What is on offer?
The opportunity to own and operate an O2 UK franchise store. O2 already successfully manages over 300 franchise and partnership stores in Germany and is now bringing that know how and support to the UK market.
