Liberty Global is a publicly owned multinational telecommunications company headquartered in the UK. With main offices also in London, Amsterdam, and Denver, the company was formed in 2005 by the merger of the international arm of Liberty Media and UnitedGlobalCom (UGC). Employing approximately 10,100 individuals, it reported $4.9B in revenue as of 2025. The company specializes in telecoms, managing brands such as Virgin Media-02 in the UK, VodafoneZiggo in The Netherlands, Telenet in Belgium, Sunrise in Switzerland, Virgin Media in Ireland, and UPC in Slovakia.
On July 2, an arm of Liberty Global acquired the 20-turbine Chirmorie wind farm, currently under construction in South Ayrshire, Scotland, which could power 78,000 homes. Previously, on July 1, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) fast-tracked its review of the proposed £2 billion acquisition of Netomnia. The CMA moved directly to Phase 2 of the investigation, an in-depth review, at the request of the acquiring parties: a consortium comprising Liberty Global, Telefónica, and InfraVia, which are also the parents of Nexfibre and Virgin Media O2.
