Richard Tang, Zen Internet

Richard is the founder and Chairman of Zen Internet, the UK’s largest independent telecommunications and technology service provider. Recognised as Which?’s Best Broadband provider, Zen was first launched by Richard in 1995 with only a handful of dial-up modems. The rise of the internet since then has been remarkable and Richard has been at the forefront of an industry that has fundamentally changed the shape of how we communicate and do business.
Richard took over his current role as Chairman to dedicate time as the company’s brand ambassador. He is now fully focussed on ensuring Zen’s ethos underpins every aspect of the service it provides, all whilst taking on the ‘Big Four’ by making the right decisions for long-term success and sustainability and challenging the bad practices the industry has become renowned for.
Richard has been instrumental in creating a people-first culture at Zen ensuring customers get an award-winning service that has many times been voted the UK’s best. His fundamental long-term objectives for the company are Happy staff, Happy customers, Happy suppliers. Zen is a Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for.
