about Orange
When we launched in 1994, our aim was the same as it is today - to make technology straightforward, useful and easy to enjoy for everyone.
It really hit the right notes with the public. So much so, we became the fastest-growing company in UK history, welcoming our one millionth customer within the first year. We were also the youngest business to join the FTSE 100 at just two years old.
Today, as part of Everything Everywhere, we're doing that for more people than ever before - and giving each and every one of our customers a better experience than they've ever had before.
today
It's a time of exciting change at the moment at Orange. As part of Everything Everywhere we're more serious than ever about investing in new technologies and systems - and in delivering the exciting products customers expect from one of the UK's most innovative brands. And it looks like our customers agree, with Orange being voted the country's 'Best High Street Retailer' in 2010 at the Mobile Choice awards.
What will never change at Orange is our determination to be at the very forefront of our industry. Or our desire to help customers throughout the UK to communicate, share their experiences and feel closer to each other.
innovation
The many dedicated researchers in our labs and development centres have recorded numerous firsts. The Orange Livebox, for example, is the very latest in joined-up technology, offering broadband, internet phone calls and streaming television through a single, user friendly product. There are lots of other exciting things in the pipeline.
partnerships
And it's not just our products and services that we're known for. We've got a strong heritage in film, having sponsored the BAFTAs for over 10 years, and our 'Orange Wednesdays' two-for-one offer is used by thousands of people every month.
We support new music acts with Orange Unsigned, trial new innovations and offer free phone charging at Glastonbury. In 2008 we launched Orange Rockcorps and gave gig tickets in exchange for four hours of voluntary work.
You'll find us at Rugby World Cups and on the covers of millions of books, with the annual Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction recognising the best female writers out there.
