BT Business and Public Sector was a division of

BT Wholesale and Openreach
. It also sold other vendors' products and services such as the Avaya IP Office business telephone system.

In April 2018, Gavin Patterson, then BT Group's CEO, announced Wholesale and Ventures was to be combined with the group's Business and Public Sector division into a newly-formed division, BT Enterprise. It came after BT's decision to undertake a streamlining of its operations, in a bid to strengthen its offerings as a business.[2]

Prior to its merger with Wholesale and Ventures, Business and Public Sector was formerly known as BT Business that was established alongside

BT Wi-fi (part of BT Enterprises) and the consumer part of BT Ireland transferred to BT Consumer.[3][4] It took on its current name following BT's new organisational structure that took effect in April 2016 after its acquisition of EE, and comprises the existing BT Business division along with EE's business division and those parts of BT Global Services that are UK focused.[5][6][7]
