Established in 2003 by Managing Director, James Drake, Eclipse Wholesale is a channel first telecommunications provider offering market leading services throughout the whole of the UK, via a network of trusted Channel Partners to provide a high quality, cost-effective service to their customers.
Over the last year Eclipse has reached new heights and evolved, better business processes have provided a greater understanding of what can be delivered and a clear vision of what an All IP and Full Fibre future looks like, this has helped develop and become Eclipse’s strategy for 2022 and the years beyond.
