Summary[edit]

Description
English: Kingston Communications, Carr Lane, Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Kingston Communications has been around for over a century, wholly owned by the local authority right up until 1999's flotation. Key events in our history include:

1882 Called on to support the establishment of a local telephone service, just 28 of 600 local businesses declared their enthusiasm.

Invited to bid for telephone licences, only 55 of 1334 local authorities expressed an interest. Hull Corporation, part of the City Council, was among them, and in 1902 gained its first licence to operate services in the Kingston upon Hull area.


1987 The Hull City Telephone Department became Kingston Communications (HULL) PLC, a company in its own right, though as yet still 100% owned by the council.

1999 The Kingston Communications Group was partially floated on the Stock Exchange, though the City Council retained its interest with a 44.9 per cent stake.
