The £500M Question: What JT’s landmark deal means for Jersey’s future

Before stepping away as CEO of JT, Daragh McDermott will be speaking at the Chamber Lunch.

JT’s recent acquisition of Manx Telecom is one of the most significant business transactions ever undertaken by a Channel Islands organisation, creating a telecommunications group with greater scale, reach and capability across the Crown Dependencies.

At this Jersey Chamber Lunch, JT Chief Executive Daragh McDermott (pictured) will provide a unique insight into the thinking behind the deal, the transformation journey that made it possible, and what it means for businesses, governments and communities across the Islands.

As organisations increasingly face common challenges around talent, infrastructure, digital connectivity and international competitiveness, Daragh will explore how stronger collaboration between Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man can unlock new opportunities for growth and resilience. Looking beyond the transaction itself, he will also share JT’s vision for the future of connectivity, managed services and digital infrastructure in an increasingly connected world. A timely and thought provoking discussion for business leaders seeking to understand how scale, partnership and innovation can help shape Jersey’s future prosperity.
