FCS is the not-for-profit industry association for companies which deliver professional voice and data communications solutions to business and public sector customers in the UK. Whatever the delivery platform — radio, mobile, copper or fibre — the FCS Mission is to champion and defend the role of the professional communications provider in the converging marketplace.

We represent all the dealers, manufacturers, re-sellers and support industries which enable companies to do business with one another in today’s global, digital marketplaces. This is upwards of 3,000 specialist businesses, focused and dedicated to equipping private - and public-sector clients with everything from conventional telephony and operational radiocommunications solutions to international broadband; from one-to-one communications for small businesses to one-to-many marshalling for rock concerts, cricket and football matches and even control solutions for safety related control of pyrotechnics for the film industry; from multi-user set-ups for call centres to highly resilient mission-critical voice and data operational systems for fire, police, ambulance users and the utilities.

FCS exists to make sure everyone – citizens, consumers, business people, regulators and policy-makers – understands and values the unique contribution ‘comms’ makes to our national life and our international competitiveness.
