Melbourne, 1 April 2025 – Access4, a leading SaaS cloud communications vendor, today announced its acquisition of UK-based Luminate Wholesale (‘Luminate’). This marks a significant step in its global expansion strategy.
Luminate is a UK & Ireland telecom provider offering white-label hosted voice solutions enabling resellers to control their brand, pricing, and customer experience. By combining cutting-edge technology with flexible models and dedicated support, Luminate helps its channel partners increase margins and build long-term value.
This move introduces Access4’s flagship SaaS platform, SASBOSS®, to the UK market – empowering channel partners with seamless automation and intelligent product delivery.
For nearly a decade, Access4 has been a trusted partner for service providers across Australia and New Zealand, delivering cutting-edge cloud communication solutions at scale.
The expansion into the UK comes at a pivotal moment as the market undergoes a major transformation following the copper network shutdown. With SASBOSS®, Access4 is uniquely positioned to help service providers automate, scale, and future-proof their cloud communication offerings, eliminating operational complexity while unlocking new revenue opportunities.
‘Bringing SASBOSS® to the UK is a game-changer for service providers looking to differentiate themselves in a rapidly evolving market,’ said Tim Jackson, Founder and CEO at Access4.
‘With the copper switch-off accelerating the need for next-generation cloud solutions, our platform enables partners to scale efficiently, automate service delivery, and provides end-customers with best-in-class unified communications, contact centre, and user experience solutions.’
The acquisition also brings the 10-strong Luminate team into the Access4 team, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of service for all staff. Luminate’s Managing Director, Jonathan Walker, will become a new member of the Access4 executive leadership team. Walker will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategy of the business and deepening relationships with partners and vendors across the UK.
‘What excites us most about this partnership is how the SASBOSS® platform will transform the way our partners operate,’ said Walker.
‘It’s not just about streamlining service delivery — it’s about enabling our resellers to scale faster, automate intelligently, and deliver a better customer experience with less overhead. This is a genuine step-change in what’s possible for UK channel businesses, and it gives our partners a real edge in a market that’s hungry for innovation.’
The acquisition of Luminate not only strengthens Access4’s presence in the UK but also demonstrates the transportability and scalability of SASBOSS® beyond the ANZ region.
As Access4 continues to expand into Europe, the company remains committed to enabling service providers with innovative solutions that drive efficiency, growth, and long-term success.
