serves the United Kingdom. Sky provides television and broadband Internet services, fixed line and mobile
telephone services to consumers and businesses in the United Kingdom. It is the UK's largest pay-TV

Broadcasting Group plc changed its name to Sky plc.[5] The UK subsidiary's name was changed from British Sky
Broadcasting Limited to Sky UK Limited, and continues to trade as Sky as of November 2018.
Sky UK Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast-owned Sky, with its current company directors being
Andrew Griffith and Christopher Taylor.[6] Griffith acts as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Managing
