About UTV

UTV Connect

Formed out of the purchase of Direct Net Access (DNA) by UTV in 2000, and known up until 2013 as UTV Internet, UTV Connect is an all Ireland telephone and broadband service provider operating in both the residential and business markets North and South.

UTV Connect offers an extensive range of telephony and broadband based services -  via the BT network in Northern Ireland and Eircom network in the Republic of Ireland – everything from high speed residential and business broadband access to mobile, managed business services and inter site connectivity, working in conjunction with sister company Tibus to offer corporate solutions to businesses of all sizes.

Tibus focuses on clients that have complex or business critical internet service requirements and can count some of the UK and Ireland's largest online brands amongst its customers.

UTV Drive

Launched in 2009 the site is easy to use and offers an excellent choice of used cars from car dealers and private sellers across Northern Ireland. Since the launch, the site has continued to grow steadily both in volume of cars and the number of visitors regularly using the site.

The portal includes the latest information on the local car news with a new section on the online UTV Drive Magazine. This is a local source with the latest new car reviews and up to the minute motor industry news all written by the leading local motor journalists from across Northern Ireland.

Recruit NI

This locally owned business developed a reputation for excellent customer service, value for money and a real alternative to the traditional methods of recruitment advertising. This success was recognised by UTV New Media and RecruitNI was acquired in February 2009. Since the acquisition the site has undergone a re-design and continues to add new features which benefit both candidates and recruiters.

In late 2009, a dedicated Executive Careers section (www.recruitexecutive.com) was successfully launched which exclusively carries jobs with salaries of £50k/€50k and over.  The Executive section is an All Ireland section on the site and was the first of its kind in this market.

In April 2010, RecruitNI launched a Public Sector section (www.recruitpublicsector.com). This is a dedicated section, giving a central search area for those looking for jobs within the Public Sector. It has attracted significant market interest and remains a significant part of the business for the future.

A wealth of information is available on the site including job related material and videos on current global and local topics. This information is provided by RecruitNI and a number of its clients and local industry experts who are based locally in Northern Ireland.
