Advising BGF on investment in Utelize Communications

We have advised BGF on its investment in Malvern-based Utelize Communications, a specialist in enterprise mobility management.

The investment will accelerate Utelize’s growth, enabling the expansion of its product portfolio and the rollout of a long-term sales and marketing strategy to meet rising client demand. It is part of BGF’s wider commitment to invest £3bn in high-potential UK businesses over the next five years, with £300m specifically earmarked for Midlands-based companies.

Founded in 2012 by Matt Atkinson and Kevin Steed, Utelize delivers proprietary technology and differentiated services that streamline mobile device and network management for corporate clients. Its award-winning enterprise eSIM and mobile data management platform provides IT teams with real-time global visibility over usage, costs, and multi-network coverage quality.

Our team was led by corporate partner William Bowler, supported by corporate partner Beth Mather, and corporate solicitor Charles Davies.

William Bowler added: “We are proud to have advised BGF on a major investment that will see another successful regional business take the next step in its growth journey. Congratulations to all involved in the transaction. This deal further reinforces Gateley’s role in supporting investments in high growth businesses across the Midlands and nationally.”
